CIMEGS Publishing requires the intellectual and expressive content of its publications to be human-created. AI tools may be used only for limited support tasks and may not replace human authorship, artistic creation, translation, review, or editorial responsibility.
Human authorship
Every publication must have identifiable human authors, editors, or institutional authors who take responsibility for its content. Generative AI may not be named or treated as an author.
Prohibited uses
- Generating publication text, in whole or in part.
- Rewriting machine-generated text for publication as human-authored work.
- Creating cover art, illustrations, figures, or other creative artwork.
- Translating a publication or producing a machine translation for later human editing.
- Inventing sources, quotations, data, references, or evidence.
- Replacing human scholarly or editorial judgement.
- Uploading confidential manuscripts to an unapproved public system.
Limited support
AI tools may be used only for limited support that does not touch the substance of the work: brainstorming before drafting, grammar checking of human-written text, or formatting. The responsible person verifies the final work.
Translation and artwork
Every translation is produced by a named human translator from the source and checked by a second qualified human reader. Artwork must be human-created or properly licensed non-AI material. Ordinary non-generative design and layout software may be used.
Declaration and responsibility
Authors, editors, and translators disclose any AI use and sign the applicable declaration before publication. Human contributors and the press remain responsible for accuracy, originality, integrity, attribution, confidentiality, and rights clearance.
