Use of Generative AI

Authors may use generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools (e.g., ChatGPT or similar technologies) to assist in language editing or improving readability. However, such tools must not be used to generate scientific content, interpret results, or draw conclusions without proper human oversight.

Authors must clearly disclose the use of any AI tools in the manuscript, typically in the acknowledgements or a dedicated statement.

AI tools cannot be listed as authors, as they do not meet the criteria for authorship and cannot take responsibility for the content.

The authors are fully responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of their work, including any parts generated or assisted by AI.
