Policy on the use of GenAI

Generative artificial intelligence and AI-based technologies can be used in academic literature to improve the language of a manuscript, including grammar, syntax, and spelling. In this case, no declaration of AI use is required from the author(s).

In all other cases, authors must declare the use of generative AI technologies in the “Additional Information” section. The statement may be as follows: “During the preparation of this article, we used [name of tool/service] for [reason]. After using this tool/service, we reviewed and edited the content as necessary and take full responsibility for the content of the published article.” This means that the use of AI technologies must be accompanied by human supervision and control. Authors should carefully review and edit the results obtained, as text generated by AI can often be erroneous, incomplete, or biased. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their work.

If the manuscript contains images created or modified using generative AI or AI-supported tools, authors must disclose this in the “Additional Information” section, providing a detailed description of when and how these tools were used. In addition, authors must confirm that they have obtained all necessary rights to use such materials.

Authorship of a manuscript can only be attributed to a human. AI and AI-supported technologies cannot be listed as authors or co-authors due to their inability to meet the criteria for authorship: they cannot take responsibility for the work, give consent for publication, manage copyright, or resolve issues related to conflicts of interest.
