The Journal of Global Postcolonial Studies is committed to ethical publication practices as set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics. The journal uses a double-anonymized peer review system. The editor will first review manuscripts for their fit within the scope of the journal. If found to be appropriate for JGPS, the manuscript will be sent out to at least two anonymous peer reviewers for their feedback and recommendations. The final decision on acceptance will be made by the JGPS editor. 

 

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

For Authors

JGPS is dedicated to following ethical practices in publishing. Therefore, we expect that authors do their own research and writing ethically with full responsibility. However, where generative AI technology has been used, the author must describe how and to what extent it was applied (including but not limited to brainstorming, editing, suggesting titles, revising, finding and summarizing research sources, etc.). We expect the author to deal transparently with the editors and provide a detailed acknowledgment and attribution statement. We reserve the right to adjudge suitable use of generative AI. It is important to verify the accuracy and validity of all AI-generated content, and it is the author’s responsibility to fact-check any AI contribution to their manuscript.

Authors should not list any AI tool as an author, nor cite AI as an author. AI tools do not meet the requirements for authorship since they cannot assume ethical or legal responsibility for their work.

Basic AI tools used for spelling, grammar, proofreading, or references (including citation managers) do not need to be disclosed.

For Reviewers and Editors
Editors, authors, and peer reviewers should not upload a submitted manuscript or any peer review documents to an AI tool or LLM as this may violate confidentiality and data privacy rights. To maintain the integrity of the peer review process, we ask that reviewers refrain from using AI in their manuscript analysis. Peer reviewers should not upload their peer review report to any AI tool, even for the purpose of improving language and readability, as it may contain identifiable manuscript information that should be kept confidential.
