TESOL Press AI Policy

We understand that the use of AI programs may be useful for some purposes, in particular as productivity tools; to generate ideas; or when summarizing, paraphrasing, or proofing. However, it is important to note that all AI has limitations and cannot replicate human creative and critical thinking

We require that anyone using an AI program or platform (including but not limited to ChatGPT) to generate text follow the Committee on Publication Ethics’ guidelines, namely "Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics.”

Authors who submit to TESOL Press and who utilize AI must:

    • be transparent in their use, and all uses of AI must be disclosed at the time of submission, including how the AI tool was used and which tool was used.
    • verify the accuracy, validity, and appropriateness of the content and any citations generated by the AI.
    • be aware of the potential for plagiarism where the AI may have reproduced text from other sources. 
    • understand that AI cannot be listed as an author.

Informed Consent Policy Statement and Release

TESOL expects authors of books or articles in our serial publications or contributors submitting chapters or units to any collective TESOL publication to adhere to ethical and legal standards for work with human subjects. Although TESOL is aware that such standards vary among institutions and countries, TESOL requires authors and contributors to meet, at a minimum, its Informed Consent Policy before submitting a manuscript for review.
