Generative AI Statement

Journal of Tropical Soils (JTS) acknowledges the transformative role of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technologies in the landscape of academic research and publishing. We recognize that GenAI tools can offer valuable assistance in enhancing the efficiency, clarity, and accessibility of scholarly writing. However, their use must be governed by principles of transparency, academic integrity, and ethical responsibility.

Authors submitting manuscripts to JTS are encouraged to disclose any use of GenAI technologies in the preparation of their work, including but not limited to drafting, editing, data analysis, or content generation. Such disclosure enables the journal to maintain rigorous peer review standards and ensures full transparency in the research communication process.

While GenAI can support authors in refining language and structure, JTS emphasizes that the intellectual contributions, interpretations, and conclusions presented in manuscripts remain the sole responsibility of the authors. The journal reserves the right to evaluate the appropriateness of GenAI usage in each submission in accordance with prevailing academic norms and ethical guidelines.

Journal of Tropical Soils (JTS) is committed to monitoring developments in GenAI technologies and adapting its policies accordingly to uphold the highest standards of scholarly publishing in a rapidly evolving digital era.
