Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Academic Publications

1. In line with the recommendations of the Policy on Integrity in Scientific Activity of the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and the SciELO AI Usage Guide, InSURgence: rights and social movements journal [InSURgência: revista de direitos e movimentos sociais] reiterates that only humans can be authors; attributing authorship to Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools is prohibited.

2. The use of content created by AI tools is discouraged, although it may be used provided that the rules for attributing its use are respected and scientific ethics and integrity are upheld.

3. The use of AI technologies in the process of writing, translation, data analysis, production of images or graphic elements, among others, must be explicitly declared at the time of submission.

3.1. In InSURgence, authors must declare the use of AI tools at the time of submission through the authorship and submission data form.

3.2. In the aforementioned form, the name of the tool, the version used, and the extent of its use must be specified (e.g., grammatical review, assistance in structuring topics, abstract translation).

4. Authors are considered fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, including parts produced by an AI tool, and are held accountable for any violation of publication ethics.

5. The lead author or the author responsible for submission must ensure that all co-authors have full knowledge of and agree to the use of AI tools at any stage of academic production, as submission implies that all authors/co-authors assume compliance with this guideline.

6. It is recommended that editors and reviewers follow the provisions of the SciELO AI Usage Guide in the performance of their duties or assignments.

7. Any failure to comply with these Guidelines will be initially evaluated by the Editorial Team and, if deemed necessary, referred to the InSURgence Ethics Committee for consideration.
