Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy Test

Authors who use Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools during the manuscript preparation process are required to disclose such use in the "Declaration on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)" section. If authors do not use artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools, please note that as well.
For Authors: AI and AI-assisted technologies (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc) must not be listed as an author or co-author. Authors may use AI strictly to improve readability and language, but not to generate data, interpret results, or draw scientific conclusions. Authors are fully responsible and accountable for the contents of their work, including any parts produced or refined by AI. Authors must verify the accuracy of all AI-generated text, citations, and data.
For Reviewers and Editors: Reviewers and Editors are strictly prohibited from uploading submitted manuscripts into public AI tools, as this violates confidentiality and data privacy agreements.
Scope of Use: Use AI only to improve language and readability. Using AI to generate scientific hypotheses or conclusions without critical human oversight is discouraged. Using generative AI to create, manipulate, or enhance images representing scientific data is strictly prohibited.
