  4. First Decision. A decision on a peer-reviewed manuscript will be given once both reviewers have submitted their review reports. In the event that both reviewers have differing opinions about the manuscript, the final decision will be handed over to the Editor-in-Chief. At this stage, the author(s) will receive at least one of this decision: accepted; revision required; or rejected.

Policy Framework for Utilizing AI Tools in Academic Writing

The editorial board of the Jurnal Psikologi affirms that its guidelines concerning the use of generative artificial intelligence in academic and scientific writing are firmly aligned with the ethical standards recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Authors are required to transparently disclose any use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools during the writing process. Such disclosures should be included in the Declarations section of the manuscript, clearly stating the nature and scope of tasks performed with AI assistance.

The use of AI for basic language-related improvements—such as correcting grammar, spelling, enhancing readability, or refining writing style—does not need to be reported, provided that these tools are not used to generate original content. While AI may assist in polishing the manuscript, full responsibility for the content’s accuracy, originality, and integrity remains with the human authors.

This journal employs available tools to detect the use of generative AI in submitted manuscripts. If improper or undeclared AI usage is identified, the editorial team will contact the authors, and the manuscript may be rejected as a result.

Maintaining ethical standards in scholarly publishing is essential. Therefore, all contributors are expected to follow these guidelines to uphold transparency and academic integrity. Any violation of this policy may result in the withdrawal of the manuscript, in accordance with the publisher’s procedures and the ethical standards outlined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

For further information, authors are encouraged to consult COPE’s official guidance on Authorship and AI tools.
