AI Position & Policy
Denkenhouse Press recognizes that artificial intelligence has become a major force in contemporary research, writing, editing, publishing, and public communication. AI now assists authors in asking questions, organizing material, identifying connections, revising style, checking arguments, preparing summaries, adapting work for different audiences, and more. AI tools are powerful, and they raise legitimate questions for authors, publishers, reviewers, and readers.
Can AI be used ethically in serious nonfiction and scholarly writing? When does 'assistance' become authorial production? In what ways and to what extent should authors acknowledge AI assistance? Does a publisher have a right to upload submitted manuscripts that represent the intellectual property of their authors into AI systems without an author's permission? ...
...Denkenhouse Press approaches these questions from a position of disciplined openness. Our position rests on three principles:
AI may assist the author (in ways similar to live research assistants), but it must not replace the author.
Authors are free to decide which, if any, AI program they wish to use and to what extent, within the bounds of Denkenhouse guidelines, they choose to use it.
Neither Denkenhouse nor its independent reviewers use AI to conduct or assist with reviews of proposals or manuscripts. Nor do they use any plagiarism or AI-detection software. All reviews are conducted humanly by Denkenhouse editors and qualified independent reviewers. Submitted manuscripts belong first to their authors and will not be uploaded into AI systems by Denkenhouse.
Denkenhouse Press accepts that authors may hold a wide range of views on AI. Some authors may use AI extensively as part of their research and writing process. Others may use it cautiously for editing, organization, or stylistic refinement. Still others may choose not to use AI at all. Denkenhouse works with authors across that range. Most importantly, by submitting work to Denkenhouse Press, the author affirms that the manuscript represents the author’s own authentic work as a whole and in all its essential parts.
