1. AI policy
General Rules for Using AI
o Supporting Tools: AI may only be used to assist the writing process, such as checking grammar, improving sentence structure, assisting with literature searches, or performing light paraphrasing.
o Not a Data or Citation Creator: AI may not be used to generate research data, primary analysis, or create citations/references (due to the risk of hallucinations or fictitious references).
o Original Ideas from Authors: The main ideas, critical thinking, and scientific substance must originate entirely from the human authors.
Authorship
o AI Is Not an Author: AI systems, chatbots, or LLMs cannot be listed as authors, co-authors, or corresponding authors.
o Full Author Responsibility: Human authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of the manuscript, including any AI-assisted sections.
Transparency and Disclosure
o Mandatory Declaration: Authors must transparently disclose the use of AI in their manuscripts (usually in the Methods section, Acknowledgments, or a special statement).
o Information Included: State the name of the AI tool used (e.g., ChatGPT or Gemini), its version, and the purpose of its use.
o Note: Very minor grammatical corrections generally do not require a special statement, unless they affect the substance of the manuscript.
Editor and Reviewer Policies
o Human Judgment: Editors and reviewers are required to exercise independent scientific judgment and must not substitute the peer-review process for the pure judgment of AI.
o Data Confidentiality: Submission of peer-reviewed manuscripts or confidential data into public AI systems that could compromise intellectual property rights is prohibited.

2. Use of quotation marks
3. Identification of the source
Any text exceeding fair use standards (herein defined as more than two or three sentences or the equivalent thereof) or any graphic material reproduced from another source requires permission from the copyright holder and, if feasible, the original author(s), and also requires identification of the source (e.g., previous publication).
When plagiarism is identified, the Editor-in-Chief responsible for the review of the paper will agree on measures according to the extent of plagiarism, based on the following guidelines:
Level of Plagiarism
Minor:
A short section of another article is plagiarized without any significant data or idea taken from the original paper.

Intermediate:
A significant portion of a paper is plagiarized without proper citation.
Action: The submitted article is rejected, and the authors are prohibited from submitting further articles for one year.

A significant portion of a paper is plagiarized that involves reproducing original results or ideas.
Action: The paper is rejected, and the authors are prohibited from submitting articles for five years.

This policy also applies to material reused from the same author's previous publications. Authors must properly cite previously published material and obtain permission when necessary.

In all cases where previously published material is used to clarify new results, it must be properly cited and distinguished from new content.
For manuscripts originally published in conference proceedings and submitted Jurnal Bisnis dan Kajian Strategi Manajemen in identical or expanded form, the original conference must be identified and permission to republish obtained.
