We permit the use of generative AI tools in a limited and appropriate manner. It must not replace genuine historical analysis and interpretation. If used, it must be honestly and explicitly acknowledged on your cover sheet and in your footnotes and bibliography.

​

Penalties for inappropriate or undisclosed usage of AI may result in an author’s article being rejected pre-publication or withdrawn post-publication. An author may be suspended or prohibited from future submissions if inappropriate AI use is discovered. 

​

All authors remain responsible for the accuracy and integrity of their work. Contact the team for further enquiries.

 

Authors may use AI for the following:

  • Provide feedback on your planned structure or content.

  • Find relevant articles, books and other resources.

  • Summarise literature on the topic.

  • Improve grammar and sentence structure.

 

Authors may not use AI to:
