Critical Literary Studies does not discourage the use of Artificial Intelligence (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Copilot, Grok, Google NotebookLM, Manus, etc.) as a research assistant tool; however, researchers must refrain from submitting AI-GENERATED manuscripts, even the least of it. All manuscripts must be HUMAN-GENERATED. The journal recognizes AI-GENERATED manuscripts as non-human and the act as immoral. Researchers must therefore avoid submitting AI-GENERATED manuscripts which the journal easily detects (especially through TURNITIN Al Detector). AI-GENERATED articles will be rejected immediately and the researcher will be black listed. It should be noted that the journal can also detect texts which are humanized (AI-GENERATED originally). Nevertheless, if AI-GENERATED texts are humanized or paraphrased, please acknowledge it in a separate COVER LETTER; otherwise, the article will be rejected with a notice to follow the policies regarding AI-Use. Upon acknowledgement, decisions will be made regarding the humanized manuscripts, either to be published or rejected. The journal advises you to avoid both methods to increase your chances for publication.
