6. Artificial Intelligence (AI) use policy

The Acta Agronomica Óváriensis permits the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative AI tools in the preparation of manuscripts, provided that their use is transparent and does not compromise research integrity.

6.1.Use by Authors: Authors must disclose the use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools that materially contribute to the preparation of a manuscript, including the generation or substantial editing of text, data analysis, coding, or the generation or modification of images, tables, or other research outputs. The disclosure should identify the tool or model used and briefly describe its purpose. Where relevant and available, the version or model should also be specified.

AI-generated or AI-assisted content must be critically evaluated and verified by the authors. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, integrity, originality, and appropriate attribution of all content submitted for publication, including content produced or modified with the assistance of AI. AI tools must not be listed as authors or co-authors.

Routine use of AI-based spelling, grammar, or language-editing tools that do not generate or substantially alter the intellectual content of the manuscript does not normally require a separate declaration.

6.2. Use by Reviewers and Editors: Reviewers and editors must maintain the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and must not upload manuscripts, reviewer reports, or other confidential material to publicly available or third-party AI systems. AI tools may be used in editorial or peer-review processes only where confidentiality, data protection, and the integrity of the review process can be adequately ensured. Compliance with these requirements must be ensured and, where requested, demonstrated to the journal.

 

Only articles in concordances with above rules, and without mistakes can be edited. Manuscripts not fulfilling those requirements have to be rejected. Editors keep the right to alter the manuscripts in length and in quality.

Honorarium is not provided for the articles.

Manuscripts are saved until final articles are published.
