AI use policy

What is and is not produced with automated assistance, stated plainly.

The short version

SocialSportHub Journal does not publish AI-generated photography, does not publish AI-generated quotations, and does not publish claims that were not verified against a real source by a person. Where AI tools are used in production, they are used the way a spellchecker or a search engine is used: to assist, never to author unchecked.

Images

Every photograph on this site is a real photograph, licensed for reuse, with its creator, licence and source record recorded and published. Synthetic imagery presented as editorial photography is prohibited outright — see ourimage policy for the full credit register.

Facts

No statistic, date, dimension, standard or quotation reaches a published story without a source that was actually read. Our build refuses stories whose references do not resolve, and refuses the categories of claim that are most often invented — fabricated quotations, invented study results, decaying "current events" framing.

Why we are telling you

A publication that asks to be cited owes its readers a plain statement of how its work is made. This page will change as the tooling changes, and it will not claim a process the Journal does not actually run.
