Dear Contributors,

To maintain academic integrity and uphold high scholarly standards, LiNGUA: Jurnal Ilmu Bahasa dan Sastra implements a strict policy regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in manuscript preparation. All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening using AI-detection and similarity assessment tools.

Based on our current editorial policy, the journal applies a maximum tolerance threshold of 25% for AI-generated and AI-humanized content. Manuscripts exceeding this limit will not proceed to the peer-review stage and will be returned to the authors for substantial revision. This policy aims to ensure that all published works demonstrate authentic academic voice, critical engagement, and independent scholarly contribution.

Authors are strongly advised to carefully review and revise their manuscripts prior to submission to ensure compliance with this policy. By submitting to LiNGUA, authors acknowledge and agree to adhere to these standards.

We appreciate the cooperation of all contributors in maintaining the quality, credibility, and ethical standards of our publication.

Regards,
LiNGUA Editorial Team
