The editorial board acknowledges the potential of artificial intelligence in scientific research and permits its use in the preparation of articles submitted for publication, provided that specific requirements are met:
- Authors utilizing artificial intelligence tools at any stage of manuscript preparation — such as writing, creating images or graphics, or collecting and analyzing data — must transparently disclose this in the "Materials and Methods" section of the article.
- AI should serve as an auxiliary tool and must not be credited as a co-author. All ideas, conclusions, and interpretations must be solely attributable to the author(s).
- The use of AI must comply with ethical standards, including those concerning copyright, data privacy, and algorithmic bias.
