For Authors
• AI tools such as Large Language Models [LLMs], chatbots, or image creators can be advantageous for basic tasks like grammar correction or language improvement. However, using AI to generate original research, medical opinions, or visual content is not allowed.
• AI cannot be listed as an author or co-author nor should they be cited as sources of authorship. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their work.
• If AI tools are used for analysis, data collection, writing assistance or figure generation, this must be disclosed clearly in the Cover letter and Acknowledgement section (or in the Methodology section). Details should be included such as the tool’s name, version/model, and source.
• Authors must confirm that their work is free from plagiarism, including any text or images generated by AI. It is the responsibility of the authors to properly attribute all quoted content, providing complete and accurate citations.
For Reviewers and Editors
Peer reviewers hold an utmost role in maintaining the quality and credibility of research. Thus, it is essential to approach this responsibility with transparency and care.
AI tools must not be used to process or review submitted manuscripts. Uploading any part of a manuscript to an AI tool can:
• Violate confidentiality.
• Breach the author’s rights.
• And potentially compromise personal or sensitive data.
Manuscript review requires human expertise, thoughtful analysis, and subject-specific judgement. While AI can mimic patterns, it cannot offer the depth or accountability that human reviewers provide.
Cautious Use and Disclosure of AI Tools
If an AI tool is used in any way to support the evaluation of a manuscript’s claims, reviewers must obtain prior approval from the journal firstly. Additionally, the use of such tools must be clearly and transparently disclosed in the peer review report. While AI-generated content may appear accurate or authoritative, it can often be misleading, biased, or incomplete. Therefore, reviewers are strongly advised to use such tools with proper care.
Overall, reviewers and editors need to be very careful for their review reports, and for upholding the standards of the peer-review process in publication.
