AI Policy

Generative artificial intelligence (AI), such as large language model systems (i.e., ChatGPT), is not capable of conceiving and carrying out original research on its own. Human direction is necessary throughout their use. These tools cannot take responsibility for any published work ot study behind it. Furthermore, Generative AIs have no legal standing and cannot hold copyright or transfer it to anyone else. We do not permit Generative AI to serve as authors or to appear in the article's author list.

If an author(s) has relied on generative AI tools in preparing any part of a manuscript, they have to disclose its usage transparently and sufficiently in the methodology or acknowledgement section. The author(s) are responsible for verifying the accuracy of the outputs produced by the tools. Furthermore, the author(s) are obliged to check and cite any sources generated by generative AI tools in a proper manner. These requirements do not apply to software used solely for checking spelling and grammar or for routine copyediting.
