Generative AI Policy

Authors are required to disclose the use of generative AI or AI-assisted technologies in the manuscript writing process at the time of submission. This policy specifically applies to the use of AI in writing and does not apply to the use of AI for data analysis or research insights.

Usage Guidelines

  1. Language and Readability Enhancement
    Generative AI may only be used to improve language quality and readability.

  2. Human Responsibility and Supervision
    All use of AI must be under human supervision. Authors must carefully review and edit AI-generated content and remain fully responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of the manuscript.

  3. Authorship
    AI and AI-assisted technologies must not be listed as authors or co-authors.

  4. Declaration of Use
    Authors must include a declaration statement in the manuscript if AI is used in the writing process. The declaration should be placed in a new section before the reference list and will be included in the published article.
