Authors should only use generative AI and AI-enabled technologies in the manuscript preparation process under human supervision and responsibility. These tools can provide support in synthesising literature, developing research ideas, language editing or content organisation. However, they cannot replace the tasks of scientific judgement, analysis and interpretation.
All authors are fully responsible for the content of the work. In this context, they should carefully assess the accuracy, reliability and impartiality of the information generated by the AI. They should also ensure that the texts produced reflect their own original contributions, ideas and analyses.
The type, purpose and use of any Artificial Intelligence Tool used in the preparation of the manuscript should be clearly declared. This statement should be made in a separate "Artificial Intelligence Statement" during submission. and should be included in the final publication in the name of transparency. Attention should be paid to privacy, data security and copyright violations during the use of artificial intelligence tools. Authors should review the terms and conditions of the tools they use to ensure that they only share their data for the purpose of providing a service and that the tools do not acquire any educational rights over this data.
The creation of AI-assisted images or figures is not permitted. Images may be modified, limited to basic adjustments such as brightness, contrast or colour balance. However, if the use of AI is part of the research methodology, this should be explained in detail and reproducibly in the methods section. Finally, AI tools cannot be listed as author or co-author. Authorship is a responsibility attributed to humans only.
NOTE: AI similarity rate should be maximum 15% and the similarity rate should be taken from Turnitin.
