Originality of Work

Originality of Work and Restrictions on AI-Generated Content

The Journal of Biomedical Insights (JBI) is dedicated to upholding the utmost standards of academic honesty and publication ethics. To maintain these standards, all submitted manuscripts must comply with the following requirements:

Originality of Work

  • Manuscripts must represent the authors’ own original research and must not have been published previously, either in whole or in part, in any language.
  • Manuscripts under review or consideration elsewhere are not accepted.
  • All data, findings, and interpretations should be authentic and derived directly from the authors’ research activities.
  • Any material, including text, figures, data, or concepts borrowed from other sources, must be appropriately cited following the Vancouver referencing style.
  • Manuscripts are subject to screening through recognized plagiarism detection software. Submissions found to contain plagiarism, falsified data, or substantial overlap with prior work will be rejected or withdrawn in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Restrictions on AI-Generated Content

  • The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools — such as ChatGPT, Bard/Gemini, Claude, Copilot, or similar — to produce, rephrase, summarize, or otherwise create the substantive intellectual content of manuscripts is strictly forbidden.
  • AI-generated text, tables, figures, images, or references must not be included.
  • Minor language editing or grammar correction by AI tools may be allowed only if fully disclosed within the Acknowledgements section of the manuscript.
  • The authors retain full responsibility for the accuracy, authenticity, and originality of all content submitted.
  • Failure to disclose AI assistance constitutes a breach of publication ethics and may lead to manuscript rejection, retraction, and notification of the authors’ affiliated institutions.

The Journal of Biomedical Insights (JBI) fully supports the ethical principles endorsed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and COPE, and expects all contributing authors to abide by these standards.
