USE OF AI STATEMENT

Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tools Statement

 

Authors must disclose the use of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools (such as ChatGPT, Copilot, or similar) in the preparation of their manuscript. These tools may assist in grammar correction, language polishing, or coding support, but AI tools should not be listed as authors and authors remain fully responsible for the content of their submission.

 

Authors are required to include a statement in their manuscript if AI tools were used, specifying:

• Which tools were used (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly, etc.)
• For what purpose (e.g., language editing, summarizing literature, data analysis)
• Confirmation that the authors have critically reviewed and verified the AI-assisted content.

 

Example of acceptable disclosure in the manuscript: “We used ChatGPT (OpenAI, 2024) to improve the clarity and grammar of the manuscript. The authors reviewed and approved all changes.”

 

The use of AI in manuscript preparation is allowed up to a maximum of 20% of the total content, and limited only to support functions such as grammar correction, code structuring, or sentence simplification. Use of AI for generating core scientific content (e.g., data interpretation, conclusions, scientific arguments) is not allowed.

 

To ensure manuscript integrity, the editorial team may use the following tools to detect AI-generated content:

• Turnitin AI Writing Detection
• Copyleaks
• Originality.AI

 

Editors reserve the right to request clarification or revisions, or to reject manuscripts, if excessive or undisclosed AI use is suspected, in accordance with our publication ethics policy.
