Announcements

Effective November 19, 2024, all authors are required to disclose their use of Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies employed during the manuscript preparation process. This declaration must be included in both the cover letter and manuscript submission. Authors should explicitly state their AI tool usage using the following standardized format: "During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME TOOL/SERVICE] in order to [REASON]." This transparency requirement ensures research integrity and allows for proper evaluation of AI contributions to academic work. The declaration should be comprehensive yet concise, clearly identifying the specific AI tools or services utilized and their precise purpose in the manuscript development process. This policy aligns with evolving academic standards for transparency in research methodology and authorship practices.
