AI Use Policy

Authors remain responsible for the accuracy, originality and sources in their manuscripts. An AI tool cannot be named as an author.

Disclose any use of generative AI to draft text, create images or support analysis, identifying the tool and explaining its use. Check all citations against the original sources. Do not upload confidential manuscripts, personal data or unpublished reviewer reports to external AI services without authorization.

Editors and reviewers must protect manuscript confidentiality and make their own assessments.
