• AI-assisted analysis must not be used to support claims that the authors cannot verify.

AI 可辅助转录、编码、翻译或数据清理，但作者必须核查输出，并清楚说明 AI 在数据处理中的作用。AI 生成的合成数据不得冒充真实观察数据。

AI tools may generate inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or fabricated references and legal citations. Authors must verify every source before submission.

Authors must verify:

• Journal articles, books, book chapters, reports, conference papers, and datasets;
• DOIs, URLs, page ranges, volume numbers, issue numbers, and publication years;
• Cases, statutes, regulations, treaties, policies, official documents, and administrative materials;
• Chinese-language sources, translated sources, legal databases, and institutional documents;
• Whether cited sources actually support the claims made in the manuscript;
• Whether AI-generated summaries misrepresent the source content.

作者不得提交由 AI 生成且未经核实的参考文献、DOI、法律案例、法规、政策文件或网页来源。虚构文献或虚假法律来源可能构成研究诚信问题。

Any AI-generated or AI-assisted image, table, figure, diagram, chart, screenshot, or visual material must be accurate, ethically permissible, legally usable, and clearly disclosed where applicable.

• AI-generated visuals must not misrepresent data, evidence, legal materials, participants, screenshots, documents, or research findings;
• Images of real persons, participants, minors, private spaces, legal records, or sensitive materials require special ethical and permission checks;
• AI must not be used to alter images or screenshots in a misleading way;
• Authors must confirm that visuals do not infringe third-party copyright, privacy, confidentiality, or platform terms;
• Figures based on AI-assisted data analysis should be traceable to verified data and methods;
• Captions should identify AI-generated or AI-assisted visuals where relevant.

AI 生成或 AI 辅助制作的图像、图表和视觉材料不得误导读者，不得伪造证据，不得侵犯隐私、版权或保密义务，并应在适用情况下披露。

Authors, reviewers, editors, and editorial staff must not upload confidential, personal, sensitive, unpublished, restricted, or legally protected materials to external AI tools unless such use is permitted by consent, law, ethics approval, institutional rules, and data protection requirements.

Protected materials may include:

• Unpublished manuscripts, reviewer reports, editorial correspondence, and peer review files;
• Participant data, interview transcripts, survey responses, psychological test results, recordings, images, or field notes;

未经适当授权，不得将保密稿件、审稿材料、个人数据、敏感数据、法律文件、机构资料或未发表材料上传至外部 AI 系统。

Peer reviewers must not upload, copy, summarize, translate, analyze, or process submitted manuscripts, supplementary files, data, figures, tables, reviewer comments, or editorial communications using generative AI tools or external AI systems.

• Submitted manuscripts and review materials are confidential;
• Reviewers must not use AI tools to generate reviewer reports or recommendations;
• Reviewers must not use AI tools to identify authors under double-blind review;
• Reviewers must not use AI-assisted analysis that exposes confidential manuscript content to third parties;
• Reviewers remain responsible for independent expert judgment and professional review comments;
• If a reviewer has confidentiality or technical questions, they should contact the editorial office before using any external tool.

审稿人不得将投稿稿件、补充材料、数据、图表、审稿意见或编辑通信上传至生成式 AI 工具或外部 AI 系统。审稿意见必须由审稿人基于独立专业判断完成。

Editors and editorial staff must protect confidentiality, editorial independence, author privacy, reviewer anonymity, and research integrity when handling manuscripts. AI tools must not be used in ways that disclose confidential content or replace editorial responsibility.

• Editors must not upload confidential manuscripts, review reports, decision letters, or author data to external AI tools;
• AI must not make editorial decisions, reviewer selections, acceptance decisions, rejection decisions, or research integrity determinations;
• AI may not replace human assessment of scope, method, ethics, contribution, originality, or legal/psychological/communication scholarship;
• Editorial use of technical tools must comply with confidentiality, data protection, and journal policy;
• Any AI-assisted editorial workflow must remain under human editorial supervision and accountability.

编辑和编辑部不得使用 AI 替代编辑判断或泄露稿件保密内容。录用、拒稿、退修、撤稿、关注声明和研究诚信处理均须由具备责任主体的人类编辑完成。

AI-assisted writing, paraphrasing, summarization, translation, or rewriting does not remove the obligation to cite sources. Authors must not use AI to disguise plagiarism, duplicate publication, excessive text recycling, or unattributed use of prior work.

• AI paraphrasing of another source still requires proper citation;
• AI translation of another source without attribution may constitute translation plagiarism;
• AI-generated summaries may reproduce source ideas and must be checked against original sources;
• AI-assisted rewriting of the authors’ prior publications may still constitute inappropriate text recycling if not disclosed;
• Similarity screening and editorial judgment may be applied to AI-assisted manuscripts;
• Authors are responsible for ensuring that AI-assisted text is original, accurate, and properly sourced.

AI 改写、翻译或摘要并不会消除引用义务。使用 AI 掩盖抄袭、翻译抄袭、一稿多投或不当文本重复使用，可能导致拒稿、撤稿或其他编辑措施。

When AI tools are part of the research method or analysis workflow, authors should report them with sufficient detail for scholarly evaluation and, where possible, reproducibility.

Reports should include, where applicable:

• Tool name, provider, model, version, date of use, and settings;
• Purpose of AI use and its role in the research workflow;
• Input type, output type, and human verification process;
• Prompting strategy, coding procedure, classification rules, or validation method where relevant;
• How errors, hallucinations, bias, uncertainty, or inconsistency were checked;
• Whether confidential, personal, sensitive, or restricted data were excluded, anonymized, or protected;
• Limitations of AI-assisted methods and implications for interpretation.

当 AI 是研究方法的一部分时，作者应说明工具名称、版本、用途、输入输出、人工核查、偏差控制和限制条件，而不能仅笼统写“使用 AI 辅助分析”。

JLPCS may request clarification, revision, documentation, or additional declarations when AI use is unclear, undisclosed, excessive, methodologically unsupported, or raises ethical or research integrity concerns.

Possible editorial actions include:

• Requesting an AI Use Statement or revised disclosure;
• Requesting clarification of AI-assisted methods, data handling, references, figures, or translations;
• Returning the manuscript for revision before peer review;
• Pausing review, production, or publication while concerns are assessed;
• Rejecting a manuscript when AI use compromises originality, data integrity, confidentiality, ethics, or scholarly reliability;
• Issuing a correction, expression of concern, retraction, or other notice after publication where AI-related problems affect the scholarly record;
• Notifying relevant institutions or parties where serious misconduct is suspected.

如 AI 使用未披露、无法核查、涉及伪造、泄露保密信息或影响研究可靠性，JLPCS 可要求说明、退修、暂停处理、拒稿或采取出版后措施。
