Artificial intelligence usage policy

Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence

Due to the increasing use of artificial intelligence in academic works, the editorial body has established the following policy:

Authorship of works with the help of artificial intelligence

The editorial body expects submissions to be creations of the authors and not of artificial intelligence tools. Therefore, the editorial body prohibits authors from exclusively using artificial intelligence tools (e.g., ChatGPT, etc.) to create works. Artificial intelligence tools cannot be co-authors of the work as they do not meet the minimum requirements for authorship. If it is detected that a job was primarily created with artificial intelligence tools, it will be rejected or retracted.

1. Use of artificial intelligence as a tool in the methodology used in studies: authors are allowed to use only and exclusively artificial intelligence tools as part of the study methodology. In these cases, authors must report the following:

2. Name of the artificial intelligence tool
3. Description of how the artificial intelligence tool was used
4. Evaluation of the validity of the results obtained using this artificial intelligence tool
5. Aspects of the study, content, data, and files that were modified and/or generated by the artificial intelligence tool

Using artificial intelligence tools to fabricate or conveniently manipulate data in the study is unacceptable. This will lead to the rejection of the submission or retraction of the published work.

Generation of images with the help of artificial intelligence: the editorial body prohibits the generation and use of images in works with the help of artificial intelligence tools. Using images generated with artificial intelligence is only possible if the corresponding copyright permissions are obtained and free of legal disputes.

Use of artificial intelligence by peer reviewers: Peer reviewers play a fundamental role in publishing academic works. Their experience and evaluation of the works guide the editor in the decisions that must be made. Peer reviewers are directly responsible for the opinions and recommendations they provide in the views they provide to the editor. Therefore, the editorial body prohibits peer reviewers from using artificial intelligence tools to evaluate works or generate arbitration opinions.
