Guidelines on AI-Generated Content

IARJ acknowledges the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to generate information that can be helpful for articles submitted to the journal for prospective publication. However, the journal also recognizes the need to ensure that AI-generated content is managed sensibly and morally.
This policy describes the journal's guidelines for using AI-generated content in published articles.
1. Definition of AI-generated content
For this policy, any content created or substantially modified by an AI system is referred to as AI-generated content. This includes both content created wholly by an AI system and content authored by a human author that has undergone substantial AI system alteration.
2. Principles
IARJ will only publish AI-generated content that complies with the following rules:
* The AI system that produced the content cannot be recognized as one of the authors when it is submitted for potential publication.
* The AI system used to generate the content must be properly described in the article.
* The human author's contribution to the content must be acknowledged.
* The AI-generated content must be original and not plagiarized.
* The AI-generated content must be accurate and reliable.
* The AI-generated content must not mislead or deceive readers.
3. Procedure
Authors who wish to submit articles with AI-generated content must provide IARJ with the following information:
* A detailed description of the AI system used to generate the content.
* A copy of the original input data used to generate the content.
* A copy of the AI-generated content.
* A statement acknowledging the human author's contribution to the content.
IARJ will evaluate the AI-generated content and decide if it is suitable for publication.
4. Enforcement
IARJ reserves the right to reject or retract any article (Retraction) that does not comply with this policy.

Article Retraction Policy
An article that has previously been published gets retracted when it is taken out of a journal. The editor and/or editorial board of the journal may decide on this. Small editorial mistakes don't lead to retractions. In this instance, an article would be updated. Retractions reveal more significant problems with a piece of writing. Retractions may occur because of
- Errors in the research
- Issues with the reproducibility of the research
- Plagiarism
- Falsification of data or results
- Fabrication of data or results
- Copyright infringement
- Failure to disclose a conflict of interest
- No institutional review board approval for research on human subjects or animals.

Transition from Page Numbers to Article Numbers

Announcement: Transition from Page Numbers to Article Numbers

Interdisciplinary Academic and Research Journal (IARJ)

The Interdisciplinary Academic and Research Journal (IARJ) would like to inform authors, reviewers, readers, and indexing partners that starting from the year 2026 onward, the journal will adopt an Article Number (Article ID) system in place of traditional page numbering for all newly published articles.

This transition reflects the journal’s commitment to international scholarly publishing best practices and aligns with standards widely adopted by major indexing and abstracting services, including Web of Science (WoS), Scopus, EBSCO, ProQuest, and Crossref. The implementation of article numbers supports online-only and open access publishing, enhances metadata consistency, and facilitates accurate citation, indexing, and long-term digital preservation.

Under the new system:

Each published article will be assigned a unique Article Number (Article ID).
Page numbers will no longer be used for articles published from 2026 onward.
Citation formats will reference the Article Number instead of page ranges.
Articles published prior to 2026 will retain their original page numbers and will not be altered.
The journal will provide updated citation guidelines and metadata standards to ensure a smooth transition for authors, readers, and indexing partners.

The Editorial Board of Interdisciplinary Academic and Research Journal (IARJ) appreciates the continued support of our academic community as we implement this improvement to enhance the quality, accessibility, and global visibility of the journal.
