Use of AI

Rules for the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Scientific Articles

The Journal’s editorial board, guided by the principles established in paragraph 5 of Appendix 1 to the Order of the Minister of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated March 31, 2011, No. 127 (as amended by the Order of the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated January 6, 2025, No. 4), defines its position on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in scientific publications. Considering the specifics of legal research and the principles of academic integrity, the Editorial Board adheres to a policy of responsible, ethical, and transparent use of AI technologies.

The Editorial Board allows the use of AI technologies only for auxiliary purposes, provided that the following requirements are strictly observed:

  1. Authors are responsible for the accurate, safe, and ethical use of information obtained through AI technologies;
  2. Scientific results, conclusions, and recommendations must be formulated independently by the authors, regardless of the use of AI technologies;
  3. Authors must disclose any use of AI technologies, specifying:

           -at what stage and for what purpose the author(s) applied AI technologies;

           -a description of the methods used to verify the reliability of the obtained data and/or their                      processing and interpretation when using AI technologies;

           -information about the AI technology: name, developer (copyright holder), version, date of access            and use.

           Example of a reference:

           OpenAI (2025) ChatGPT (generative AI interface). Available at: https://chatgpt.com/                                    (accessed:24.12.2025).

 

  1. The absence of a statement regarding AI use is considered confirmation that AI technologies were not used in the scientific article;
  2. The use of AI technologies is allowed for statistical processing of research results (questionnaires, tests, surveys, etc.).

The use of AI technologies is prohibited in the following cases:

  1. For generating text of the article (abstract, introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, conclusions, reference list);
  2. Without disclosure of information about the technology, including its name, version, copyright holder, and date of access;
  3. To circumvent plagiarism detection systems or reduce the likelihood of detecting plagiarism;
  4. To distort others’ texts or ideas in order to conceal borrowing;
  5. For research involving children under 13 years of age, due to ethical restrictions and the need to protect the rights of minors;
  6. For creating fictitious experimental data without conducting actual research.

The Editorial Board emphasizes that the use of AI technologies must be transparent, limited, and consistent with the principles of academic ethics, ensuring the preservation of the authors’ contribution and the scientific reliability of the publication.
