Ethics Standard

Scope of this policy: The following guidance refers only to the use of AI in the writing process and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process itself.

01
Authorship & Accountability

AI Cannot Be an Author

AI tools and technologies such as Generative AI (e.g., Large Language Models) do not meet the requirements for intellectual contribution, accountability, or responsibility that authorship demands.

Authors are solely responsible for the accuracy, integrity, originality, and ethical soundness of their manuscript — including any content generated, edited, or enhanced using AI.

Who is responsible?

All named authors share full and equal responsibility for all content, including AI-assisted sections. This responsibility cannot be transferred or delegated to an AI system.

Why does this matter?

Listing AI as an author undermines the ethical foundations of scholarly publishing. Authorship carries legal, ethical, and reputational obligations that only humans can fulfill.

A

Full Responsibility

Authors must verify the factual correctness of all AI-generated content, including statements, citations, data, or figures.

B

Human Oversight Required

AI tools must be used under direct human supervision. All AI-generated material must be critically reviewed and edited.

C

No Co-authorship for AI

AI must not be cited as an author or co-author. Authorship implies responsibilities that can only be attributed to humans.

02
Transparency & Disclosure

How to Declare AI Use

What to Disclose
Required Information
  • Name(s) of AI tool(s) used (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly, Midjourney)
  • Purpose of use — language refinement, grammar, image generation, etc.
  • Extent of AI involvement and how it contributed to the manuscript
Where to Disclose
Placement in Manuscript
  • Acknowledgements — for general writing assistance
  • Methods section — for data analysis or coding tasks
  • Declaration of AI Use — before References or in a footnote
Example Declaration Statement

Section title: Declaration of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.

Statement: During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [TOOL NAME] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the published article.

Note: This declaration does not apply to basic tools used to check grammar, spelling, and references. If you have nothing to disclose, you do not need to add a statement.

Permissible AI Uses

What AI Can Do

01

Language & Grammar

AI can assist in improving readability, spelling, grammar, and sentence structure of the manuscript.

02

Drafting Support

AI may assist in generating initial drafts of non-research-critical sections such as Introduction or Discussion.

03

Brainstorming & Ideas

AI may aid in the conceptualization of ideas or outlining the structure of the manuscript.

04

Data & Visualization

AI tools may assist in data processing or generating figures and tables when properly disclosed.

05

Literature Summarization

AI can summarize existing literature, but authors must ensure accuracy and proper citation of sources.

06

Translation Assistance

AI may help translate content for clarity, provided final content is reviewed and verified by the authors.

04
Prohibited Uses of AI

What AI Cannot Do

01
Generating Fictitious Content

AI must never be used to create false data, fabricated research results, or non-existent references and citations.

Strictly Forbidden
02
Plagiarism

AI-generated content must be properly attributed if it draws from existing sources or intellectual property.

Strictly Forbidden
03
Substituting Human Intellectual Contribution

AI cannot perform the core intellectual work of research — formulating hypotheses, designing experiments, interpreting findings, or drawing original conclusions.

Not Permitted
04
Violating Confidentiality

Reviewers and editors must not use AI tools to process, summarize, or evaluate confidential manuscript content.

Not Permitted
05
Misrepresenting Research

AI must not be used to intentionally mislead readers about research methods, results, or conclusions.

Not Permitted
05
Use of AI by Editors & Reviewers

Reviewer Obligations

Confidentiality Obligation

To protect the confidentiality of submitted manuscripts and the intellectual property of authors, editors and reviewers are not permitted to use generative AI or AI-assisted technologies — including but not limited to ChatGPT or similar services — during the peer-review and manuscript evaluation process.

!
Strictly Prohibited for Reviewers

Submitting manuscript content — in whole or in part — to any external AI system during review. This includes drafting review comments, summarizing manuscripts, or assisting evaluation decisions.

We are actively evaluating compliant AI tools and may revise this policy as the landscape of responsible AI in publishing evolves.
06
Consequences for Misuse

Enforcement & Sanctions

A

Rejection of the submitted manuscript prior to publication.

B

Retraction of the published article from the journal.

C

Banning authors from submitting future works to the journal.

D

Notification to authors' institutions and relevant ethics committees.

Ethical Compliance

This journal adheres to internationally recognized standards of publication ethics and transparency, including principles promoted by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
