Policy Update on AI-Generated Text

Dear Researchers, Reviewers, and Readers,

At Ennoia, we strive to remain at the cutting edge of the intersection between society, technology, and education. In line with this mission, we are officially announcing an update to our author guidelines.

Effective immediately, Ennoia Advances in Social Science, Technology and Education is removing its rigid 35% cap on AI-generated text.

Rather than policing arbitrary percentage thresholds, our editorial policy is shifting toward a model centered on radical transparency, rigorous disclosure, and absolute human accountability.

However, to maintain our alignment with COPE best practices and CC BY 4.0 open-access standards, all submissions must now adhere to the following rules:

No AI Authorship: AI tools cannot be listed or cited as authors or co-authors. Authorship requires accountability, legal capacity, and intellectual intent—traits unique to humans. 

Mandatory AI Disclosure: If generative AI was used to draft, rephrase, or edit sections of your text, you must include a dedicated AI Declaration Statement right before your References section. You must specify the tool used (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini), the version, and the scope of its application.

Data and Fact Verification: Authors must manually audit all references, data points, and arguments. "AI hallucination" is not an acceptable excuse for inaccurate or plagiarized literature.
