Guidelines for Author

Manuscript Submission:
Manuscripts must be submitted online to the Faculty of Languages Journal for publication through the electronic journal management system. The article submission form is available on the journal’s official website.

Publication Fees:
The Faculty of Languages Journal provides open access to all published articles. All articles are published under full open access. To provide free access to readers and cover the costs of peer review, language editing, typesetting, long-term archiving, online journal management, and other expenses, authors are required to pay publication fees.

Permissible Percentage of AI-Generated Content:
Guidelines regarding acceptable levels of AI-generated content may vary by field. In general, AI tools can be used to assist in drafting certain sections, such as background information or data visualization. However, the core analysis, results, and conclusions must be human-generated. Typically, the acceptable level of AI-generated content in research papers is up to 30%. Manuscripts with 40% or more AI-generated content will be rejected.

Plagiarism Detection:
Submitted manuscripts are checked for plagiarism using iThenticate.
