Rights for Authors and JICRCR

As further described in our submission agreement (the Submission Agreement), in consideration for publication of the article, the author(s) retain copyright to the material and have agreed to license it BY-NC-ND 4.0.

No tool, program, or other forms of AI (such as a large language model, i.e., LLM) will receive a byline (recognition as an author) on an article published in Journal of International Crisis and Risk Communication Research. Currently, machines do not have the ability to accept responsibility or discipline for work created and therefore are prohibited from authorship. Authors using any machine-generated content, similar to content created by an LLM, are required to document this in both the acknowledgments and methods section of a submission. Furthermore, JICRCR may place an LLM-badge on the article as an acknowledgment to readers about the practice.
