This policy specifies the permitted use of generative technologies in the writing and editing of manuscripts submitted to our journal. Under no circumstances should these tools be employed to generate the main content, tables, or figures of an article. Their use is strictly limited to enhancing the language quality and clarity of the text. Authors must diligently review and revise any material produced with these tools to ensure it meets our standards.

When such technologies are used in preparing a manuscript, authors are required to disclose this fact by including a statement in their cover letter upon initial submission. Once a manuscript is accepted for publication, the disclosure must also be included in the declarations section of the final version.

Any manuscript found to deviate from these guidelines will be rejected during the review process, and any published work later discovered to be non-compliant will be retracted.
