AI Usage Policy

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Usage Policy – Journal Launch Statement</strong >

The Journal of Health Synapse (JHS) supports responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an assistive technology in scholarly publishing. To preserve scientific originality, human accountability, and ethical rigor, JHS establishes the following AI usage limits and exclusions.


AI-Prohibited Sections (Zero-Tolerance Zones)

AI usage is strictly prohibited (0%) in the following manuscript components:

Article Section AI Usage Allowed
Title & Abstract (scientific framing) ❌ 0%
Hypothesis & Objectives ❌ 0%
Study Design & Methodology ❌ 0%
Experimental Procedures ❌ 0%
Data Generation & Raw Results ❌ 0%
Statistical Analysis & Interpretation ❌ 0%
Results & Discussion ❌ 0%
Conclusions & Clinical Implications ❌ 0%
Ethical Approval & Consent Statements ❌ 0%
Authorship & Acknowledgements ❌ 0%
Peer Review Reports ❌ 0%

Note: Any AI-generated scientific reasoning, inference, or data representation is considered academic misconduct.


Maximum Permissible AI Usage

• Overall AI-assisted content limit: ≤ 10% of the manuscript
• AI use must be limited to language refinement and formatting only
• All AI usage must be explicitly declared by the authors

Note: The percentage refers to AI-assisted text influence, not word count replacement.

AI-Permitted Sections (With Limits)

• Grammar, spelling, and clarity improvement
• Reference formatting and citation styling
• Figure labeling and layout alignment

Maximum AI influence in these sections combined: ≤ 10%

Mandatory AI Disclosure

• Name of AI tool(s) used
• Purpose of use
• Confirmation that AI was not used in prohibited sections

Failure to disclose AI usage will result in desk rejection.

Editorial Oversight

• JHS employs AI-detection tools and expert editorial review
• Manuscripts exceeding the permitted AI threshold will be rejected or returned for revision


Journal Commitment

JHS remains committed to human-led science, ethical publishing, and transparent integration of emerging technologies while safeguarding originality and scholarly trust.
