The Policy of Using Generative AI

Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Manuscript Preparation

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, including generative AI, for language editing of scientific manuscripts is permitted without mandatory disclosure of their use. Such editing includes correcting grammatical, syntactic, and spelling errors, as well as improving the style and clarity of the text without altering its scientific content.

In all other cases, authors are required to disclose the use of generative AI, including ChatGPT and similar tools, in the “Additional Information” section when submitting a manuscript to the journal.

A suggested disclosure statement is as follows:

During the preparation of this article, we used [name of tool/service] for [purpose]. The materials generated with its assistance were reviewed and edited as necessary. We take full responsibility for the content of the published article.

The use of AI must be subject to human oversight by the authors. All AI-generated materials must be carefully reviewed and, where necessary, edited, as the outputs of such tools may contain factual errors, inaccuracies, incomplete information, or biased content. Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy, originality, and scientific validity of the manuscript's content.

If a manuscript contains images generated or modified using generative AI or other AI-based tools, authors are required to disclose this information in the “Additional Information” section, providing a detailed description of when and how the tools were used.

Authors must also confirm that they have obtained all necessary rights and permissions to use such materials.

Only natural persons may be listed as authors or co-authors of scientific publications. AI systems cannot be credited as authors or co-authors because they do not meet the criteria for scientific authorship: they cannot take responsibility for the content of the work, consent to its publication, exercise copyright rights, or fulfill obligations related to the disclosure of conflicts of interest.
