Online Statement on the Use of GenAI

Use of GenAI by Authors

The journal does not permit the use of GenAI tools (including, but not limited to, ChatGPT, GPT-based systems, or similar technologies) to write, generate, or substantially modify manuscripts.

Authors are solely responsible for the originality, accuracy, and integrity of their work. GenAI tools cannot be attributed as authors or co-authors, and responsibility for scientific content cannot be attributed to automated systems. The use of GenAI to generate text, analyze data, interpret results, or formulate conclusions is considered inconsistent with accepted standards of academic authorship.

By submitting a manuscript for review, authors declare that no GenAI tools were used in the writing, generation, or substantially modify of this manuscript, nor in the analysis, interpretation, or presentation of the research results.

Use of GenAI in Reviewing

Reviewers are strictly prohibited from using GenAI tools in their review. Reviewing requires independent expert judgment and adherence to confidentiality obligations. Uploading manuscripts or peer-reviewed materials to GenAI systems constitutes a breach of confidentiality and ethical standards.

Editorial Oversight and Compliance

The Editorial Board reserves the right to investigate alleged misuse of GenAI tools. Any violation of this policy will be handled in accordance with the journal’s procedures for handling allegations of misconduct, including possible rejection, retraction, or other corrective action.

This policy is consistent with internationally recognized principles of publication ethics and supports the journal’s commitment to responsible and transparent scholarly communication.
