Important Notice: Mandatory Declaration of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies

2026-04-06

Effective from the publication of Volume 5, Issue 1, 2026, the Review of Islamic Social Finance and Economics (RISFE), in collaboration with P3EI journals, officially requires all authors to include a formal declaration regarding the use of Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in their writing process. This policy is implemented to ensure academic transparency, integrity, and the ethical use of emerging digital tools in scholarly publishing.

Authors must provide a specific statement detailing which tools were utilized and for what purpose. For instance, a declaration might state: "During the preparation of this work, the authors used ChatGPT, DeepL, Grammarly, and PaperPal to translate from Bahasa Indonesia into American English and improve the clarity of the language and readability of the article." It is imperative that authors review and edit the final output, as they remain fully responsible for the accuracy and originality of the published content.

This mandatory declaration should be placed at the end of the manuscript, typically before the reference list. We believe this step is crucial for maintaining the high editorial standards of RISFE as we continue to document global advancements in Islamic economics across various institutions and countries.
