Use of Artificial Intelligence resources (Chatbots)

The journal adopts the WAME Recommendations on ChatGPT and Chatbots in Academic Publishing:

  1. Only humans can be authors. Chatbots may not be listed as authors.
  2. Transparency of use. Authors must disclose chatbot usage and provide details in the Methods section about how they were used.
  3. Accountability. Authors assume public responsibility for their work, including any content generated by a chatbot, ensuring its accuracy, absence of plagiarism, and appropriate attribution of all sources (including chatbot‑generated material).
  4. Detection tools. Editors will employ appropriate tools to help identify AI‑generated or AI‑modified content.

Review integrity. Editors and reviewers must not use chatbots to evaluate manuscripts, reviews, or correspondence.
