Guidelines on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Manuscript Preparation:
As part of our commitment to research integrity and responsible publishing,  this Journal allows the use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools only under specific conditions and with proper disclosure.
 
Permitted Use of AI
Authors are allowed to use AI tools in the following ways:
Language and Grammar Editing
– AI tools may be used to improve sentence structure, grammar, and spelling (e.g., Grammarly, ChatGPT, Quillbot).
Paraphrasing with Attribution
– Authors may use AI to paraphrase content, as long as the original meaning is preserved and sources are properly cited.
Summarization of Raw Text
– Authors may use AI to generate summaries of long documents (e.g., interviews, transcripts) that are later reviewed and edited by the authors.
Programming or Data Analysis Support
– Tools such as GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT may assist with writing code or statistical scripts, provided the authors verify and take full responsibility for the output.
Idea Generation and Draft Outlines
– AI may be used to brainstorm or generate preliminary outlines, which must then be critically developed and written by the authors.
 
Prohibited Use of AI
– Submitting AI-generated text as-is, without review or revision by the authors.
– Using AI to generate core manuscript sections, such as the abstract, introduction, methods, results, or discussion, without human input and accountability.
– Fabricating research results or citations using AI tools.
– Listing AI as an author. AI tools cannot meet authorship criteria (e.g., accountability, legal responsibility).
 
Author Responsibilities
– Authors must provide a truthful and accurate disclosure of AI use in their manuscript.
– Authors are fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, and ethical standards of their work, even when AI tools are used.
– Manuscripts found to contain undisclosed AI-generated content are subject to desk rejection or retraction after publication.
 
Example of "Use of AI Statement" (to be placed before the References section):
The authors used generative AI tools [--mention the name--] for [--choose: language enhancement (grammar, phrasing, and clarity), summarization of preliminary notes, and assistance with coding and data analysis scripts--]. No content was generated by AI without critical review, modification, and final approval by the authors. The authors take full responsibility for the content and accuracy of the manuscript.
 
If no AI was used:
The authors declare that no generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools were used in the writing, editing, analysis, or any part of the preparation of this manuscript. All content was conceived, written, and finalized solely by the authors without the assistance of AI technologies.
