Authors may use artificial intelligence tools to support language editing, formatting, literature organisation, or technical assistance, where appropriate. However, AI tools must not be listed as authors.
Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, integrity, and ethical compliance of their manuscripts.
Where AI tools are used in a substantial way, authors should disclose this use in the manuscript, such as in the acknowledgements, methods section, or a separate disclosure statement.
AI-generated content must be checked carefully by authors to avoid plagiarism, fabrication, inaccurate citations, biased claims, or unethical data use.
