AI Usage Tools Policy

Regulations on the Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools

The journal adopts a policy for the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the writing, editing, review, and reuse of content. This regulation ensures compliance with the principles of transparency, ethics, and data confidentiality.

General Principles

• The use of AI tools in the writing of manuscripts must be explicitly stated in the methodology section or in the acknowledgments.
• The AI cannot be considered the author of an article, as it lacks legal responsibility or the capacity to respond for the content generated.
• Authors are fully responsible for the content of the manuscript, even when they have used AI tools for text generation, editing, or data analysis.

Permitted Use of AI

• Writing and Editing: The use of AI tools is permitted to improve the clarity of language, spelling, and grammar, always under the supervision of the author.
• Data Analysis: AI tools may be used for statistical analysis and data processing, provided their use is described in detail.
• Bibliographic Search: AI tools may be used to collect and organize bibliographic references, ensuring source verification.

Prohibited Use of AI

• Generation of content without author supervision.
• Data manipulation or fabrication of results.
• Plagiarism or reuse of texts without proper attribution.
• The use of AI in review processes must guarantee the confidentiality of manuscripts.

Confidentiality and Ethics

• The use of AI in review processes must guarantee the confidentiality of manuscripts.
• The use of tools that store or share information without the authors' consent is prohibited.

Failure to comply with this policy may result in the rejection of the manuscript or its subsequent retraction if published. The journal reserves the right to update this policy based on technological developments and ethical standards in the scientific community.
