Use of Generative AI policy

Authors are expected to maintain full responsibility for the content, accuracy, and integrity of their work. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies (such as Large Language Models, image generators, or code-generation tools) may not be listed as an author.

If AI tools are used in the preparation of a manuscript, authors must disclose this in the Acknowledgments or Methods section. The disclosure must state:

• The name and version of the AI tool(s) used.

• The specific task performed by the tool (e.g., language editing, data visualization, or literature summarization).

• A confirmation that all authors have reviewed and edited the output for accuracy and potential bias.

Authors are reminded that AI tools may produce inaccurate or "hallucinated" citations; therefore, all references must be manually verified against the original sources. The use of AI to generate, manipulate, or falsify primary research data or images is strictly prohibited.
