AI Policy

USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

  1. The use of artificial intelligence in writing an article is permissible within a reasonable scope, provided that it is essential to the research and properly justified in the study’s methodology.
  2. When AI tools directly contribute to content creation or data analysis, full transparency must be ensured. Such instances must be explicitly described, including the name of the AI tool and the version used. The corresponding information shall be indicated at the introduction of the article.
  3. Given that translation and grammar-checking tools are commonly used, authors employing them are not required to provide a public declaration of their use.
  4. The use of AI cannot replace the author’s personal intellectual contribution to the conception of the study, analysis, interpretation of results and formulation of conclusions. Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy, reliability, and scientific originality of the submitted materials, regardless of the extent of AI involvement.
  5. The use of any AI tools or systems in the processes of peer review, editorial decision-making or manuscript evaluation is strictly prohibited.
  6. Reviews, editorial opinions, and final publication decisions must be made exclusively by humans who are members of the editorial board and peer reviewers.
  7. The use of AI in the editorial process is permitted solely for technical support purposes (such as checking formatting, spelling, or layout) and must not influence the scientific content of the text.
  8. Concealing the use of AI or providing false information regarding its use shall be considered a violation of the ethical standards of scholarly publication.
  9. All participants in the editorial and publication process are required to adhere to the principles of academic integrity, accountability and transparency.
