Declaration of Generative AI in Scientific Writing
Authors must disclose any use of generative AI in the writing process when submitting their manuscript. This guideline applies specifically to writing and does not cover the use of AI for data analysis or research insights.
- Appropriate Use: Generative AI and AI-assisted tools may only be used to improve the readability and language quality of the manuscript.
- Human Oversight: AI-generated content must be carefully reviewed and edited by the authors, as AI outputs may appear authoritative but can be inaccurate, incomplete, or biased. Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of their work.
- Authorship Integrity: AI and AI-assisted tools cannot be credited as authors or co-authors, as authorship entails responsibilities that only human contributors can fulfill.
Authors must include a disclosure statement in their manuscript upon initial submission. This statement will be published in a separate section before the references. Below is an example:
Section Title: Declaration of Generative AI and AI-Assisted Technologies in the Writing Process.
Statement: The author(s) used [TOOL/SERVICE NAME] for [SPECIFIC PURPOSE] during manuscript preparation. The author(s) reviewed and edited the content as necessary and accept full responsibility for the published work.
This requirement does not apply to basic tools used for grammar, spelling, or reference checking. If no AI tools were used, no statement is needed.
Important Note: To protect author rights and ensure research confidentiality, this journal prohibits the use of generative AI or AI-assisted technologies, such as ChatGPT, in the peer review and manuscript evaluation process. The journal is actively reviewing compliant AI tools and may update this policy in the future.
