GenAI Policy: For Authors

  • Authors may use GenAI tools to improve language, readability, or code, and to support literature searching, provided that they review and verify all output.
  • Authors must not use GenAI to generate or manipulate research data, images, or figures, or to produce references without verifying that each source exists and supports the claim.
  • Any use of GenAI beyond basic spelling and grammar checking must be disclosed in the Declarations section, stating the tool, its version, and the purpose of use.
  • When GenAI is part of the research design (for example, an AI-based learning intervention), it must be described in the Method section.
  • Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their manuscript. Undisclosed or inappropriate use of GenAI may lead to rejection or retraction.
