Artificial Intelligence Usage Policy

AUTHORS

Authors must transparently disclose the use of AI in manuscript preparation and clearly describe its role. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and scientific integrity of their manuscripts. AI tools cannot be credited as authors, and their use must comply with publication ethics and intellectual property rights.

EDITORS

Editors may use AI tools to support editorial tasks within appropriate limits. However, AI must not replace professional judgment or editorial decision-making. Editors must maintain manuscript confidentiality, protect authors' data, and ensure that editorial decisions are based on scientific merit, objectivity, and publication ethics.

REVIEWERS

Reviewers are prohibited from uploading or entering manuscripts, research data, or confidential information into AI systems without appropriate authorization and adequate data protection safeguards. AI must not replace reviewers' critical assessment of scientific content, methodology, findings, or research novelty. Reviewers remain fully responsible for the objectivity, confidentiality, and recommendations of their peer reviews, in accordance with the journal's policies.
