Use of AI tools

What authors, reviewers and editors may and may not do with AI tools.

Authors

  • AI tools cannot be listed as authors, because they cannot take responsibility for the work.
  • If you used AI tools for anything beyond spelling and grammar, describe how in the methods or acknowledgements.
  • Authors are responsible for the accuracy of everything in the manuscript, including text, references and figures produced with AI tools.

Reviewers and editors

  • Do not upload manuscripts or reports to AI tools: this would break the confidentiality of review.
  • The assessment and the decision must be your own.
