• If authors used generative AI or AI-assisted technologies (including tools such as ChatGPT) in preparing the manuscript, they are required to declare the use of it in the Additional Information section of the template when submitting the manuscript. A possible statement is as follows, 'While writing this scientific paper, we used [name of tool/service] for [reason]. After using this tool/service, we have reviewed and edited the content and take full responsibility for the content of the published article.'
• If the manuscript includes images generated or modified by generative AI or AI-assisted tools, authors have to disclose this information in the Additional Informationsection, providing a detailed description of when and how the tools were used. Furthermore, authors have to confirm that they have all necessary rights for the use of such materials.
• In all cases, the use of AI should be accompanied by human supervision and verification. Authors should thoroughly review and edit the output, as AI-generated text may often be incorrect, incomplete, or biased. Authors are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, and impartiality of their manuscript.
• The authorship of the manuscript must be attributed solely to humans. AI and AI-assisted technologies may not be listed as author(s) or co-author(s) due to their inability to meet the criteria for authorship: they cannot take responsibility for the work, provide consent for publication, manage copyright, or be involved in issues related to conflicts of interest.
• Editors may decline to move forward with manuscripts if AI is used inappropriately.
• Reviewers may not use AI technology in creating their reviews because this could breach the confidentiality of the manuscript.
