In the context of the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, especially Generative AI such as ChatGPT, Gemini, etc., and its increasingly massive use in academic writing, we convey several things related to the use of Generative AI in the preparation of manuscripts to be submitted to CHEDS: Journal of Chemistry, Education, and Science.

1. AI Usage is Allowed: The use of AI such as ChatGPT and Gemini, etc. is allowed to help paraphrase, improve grammar, and enhance the readability of the manuscript. This is in line with the view that AI can be an effective tool in the writing process.

2. Limitations on AI Usage: The use of AI must be limited only for the purpose of improving the manuscript, not as a substitute for original writing or the author's original ideas (human-created material). The author's intellectual contribution remains the most important aspect of a scientific work.

3. Acknowledgement: Authors are required to explicitly include an Acknowledgement in the manuscript if they use AI assistance in the writing process. This is important to maintain transparency, academic ethics, and publication ethics. See the provisions and format in Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies. This obligation applies from the time this announcement is made.

4. New Policy: The policy regarding the use of AI has been updated and can be seen in the Open Journal System (OJS) of CHEDS. The authors are expected to read and understand this policy (Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies) before submitting their manuscripts.

5. Turnitin Check: All submitted manuscripts will still be checked through Turnitin to ensure originality and avoid plagiarism. Turnitin has the ability to detect text generated by AI, so the use of AI that is not in accordance with the guidelines will be detected.

CHEDS is committed to following technological developments and encouraging the use of tools that can improve the quality of academic writing. However, the integrity and originality of the work remain a top priority. With this announcement, it is hoped that authors can use AI wisely and responsibly.

Sincerely,

The Editorial Team
