Use of AI tools

Generative AI tools (such as large language models) may help with language editing, but they cannot be listed as authors and cannot take responsibility for the work.

  • Authors disclose any use of AI tools for writing, data analysis or image generation in the Methods or Acknowledgements, naming the tool and how it was used.
  • Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality and citations of the whole manuscript.
  • Reviewers and editors must not upload manuscripts or review reports to AI tools that may store or reuse them.
