Use of Generative AI in Manuscripts
The journal recognizes that generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools can be useful in academic writing when applied responsibly. Authors are permitted to use such tools under the following conditions:
- Disclosure: The use of generative AI must be transparently declared. Authors should state the tool name, version, and the specific purpose of its use (e.g., grammar improvement, language editing, image generation).
- Authorship: AI tools may not be credited as authors or co-authors, and they cannot be cited as references. Authorship implies accountability, which only humans can assume.
- Responsibility: Authors remain fully accountable for the originality, accuracy, and integrity of all submitted work, regardless of whether AI tools were used.
- Limitations: Generative AI may not be used to fabricate data, generate false references, or bypass peer review standards.
By submitting to this journal, authors acknowledge and accept full responsibility for any use of generative AI tools.
