Authors must declare the usage of generative AI in the manuscript preparation process when submitting the paper.

Artificial intelligence tools may assist authors who are preparing a manuscript for this journal. However, human critical thinking skills and evaluation must never be replaced by these technologies. AI should always be used under human supervision and control.

When the work is first submitted, a statement at the end of the manuscript must disclose the usage of AI tools during the preparation process. The statement should be positioned in a new section prior to the references list and will be attached to the published work.

The declaration excludes the use of fundamental tools such as grammar, spelling, and reference checkers. If you have nothing to disclose, do not include a statement.
