• ASSAF-and-SciELO Guidelines for the use of AI (artificial intelligence) Tools and Rexources in Research communication

  2024-10-07

  The ASSAf Council has endorsed the ASSAf and SciELO Guidelines for the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools and Resources in Research Communication .

  Background:

  The original version of this document was tabled at the SciELO 25-year celebration in São Paulo in Brazil in September 2023. The document was circulated to various stakeholders and comments and input were received from members of the ASSAf Council, the Committee of Scholarly Publishing in South Africa (CSPiSA), the National Scholarly Editors Forum (NSEF), the SciELO SA editors and the SciELO SA Advisory Committee, and staff members of the ASSAf Scholarly Publishing Unit.

  Council endorsement:

  The ASSAf Council requested a few modifications to the Guidelines and the revised Guidelines were subsequently endorsed on 17 September 2024.

  Further suggestions:

  Due to the fast-evolving nature of AI Tools and Resources, the guidelines will be updated periodically. We invite further suggestions on these guidelines for consideration when the Guidelines are updated.
