Use of AI and AI-Assisted Technologies

The journal Power Engineering: Economics, Technique, Ecology recognizes the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to improve the efficiency of scientific work, while emphasizing that responsibility for the content, accuracy, originality, and academic integrity of a publication rests entirely with the authors. AI-assisted technologies cannot be recognized as authors or co-authors of an article and cannot bear legal or ethical responsibility for published material. The use of such tools must not violate the principles of academic integrity, copyright, or data confidentiality.

The use of AI is acceptable for auxiliary tasks, including language editing and stylistic improvement of the text, translation, formatting, preliminary data analysis subject to full verification by the authors, and technical support in visualization or preparation of illustrative materials. The use of AI is not acceptable for generating fictitious data, experimental results, or numerical calculations without proper verification; creating fabricated sources or references; manipulating the peer review system; or concealing real authorship. The use of AI does not relieve authors of the obligation to ensure data accuracy, proper citation, and compliance of the manuscript with the journal’s requirements.
