Guidelines for Using Generative AI (GenAI) Tools in Manuscripts

Generative AI tools can assist in academic writing but must be used responsibly to maintain research integrity. Authors bear full responsibility for all manuscript content, including AI-generated material. Please follow these guidelines:

1. Language and Formatting:

GenAI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Grammarly) may be used to improve grammar, spelling, and formatting. Authors must carefully review and edit all AI-generated content for accuracy and coherence.

2. Content Accuracy & Originality:

Verify the correctness of AI-generated text, citations, and data. Use plagiarism detection tools to ensure originality and avoid copyright issues.

3. Figures and Data:

Review AI-generated charts and visuals to ensure they accurately represent the original data and do not mislead.

4. Transparency and Disclosure:

Disclose the use of AI tools in the Methodology or Acknowledgements section, specifying the tool name, version, and specific use (e.g., language editing, data analysis).

5. No Data Fabrication or Manipulation:

Do not use GenAI to create, fabricate, or manipulate data or images in a way that distorts research results.

6. Limitations and Authorship:

GenAI tools cannot replace human research efforts or be credited as authors. Only human contributors responsible for the work should be listed as authors.
