Generative AI Policy

Authors should not use GenAI tools for generating content, such as text and data, results, figures, tables, analysis, interpretations/discussions, conclusions, or any other sections of the paper.

Authors may, however, employ assistive AI (i.e. for correcting grammar in their manuscript). The use of AI tools in this manner should be minimal and appropriately disclosed in the acknowledgement section. Editors and reviewers may use AI tools only for administrative (i.e. for writing emails) tasks, while maintaining confidentiality and academic integrity.

All submissions to the journal will be checked for AI similarity. The journal reserves the right to take appropriate action if undisclosed or inappropriate use of GenAI is identified at any stage.
