Use of Artificial Intelligence and AI-Assisted Tools in Scientific Publishing
Artificial intelligence should only be used to enhance language quality, improve literature searches, generate hypotheses, or create images. It must not be used to analyze or interpret data, nor to generate study conclusions. If authors employ AI or AI-assisted tools in the production of their scientific work, they must include a disclosure in the Acknowledgements and Disclosures section at the end of the manuscript. This note must specify the AI model used and provide a detailed description of its application. Artificial intelligence cannot be credited as an author. Authors bear sole responsibility for the integrity, validity, and originality of their work. Improper use of AI tools may result in the rejection of the manuscript.
