What is allowed

• Help with language editing, grammar, clarity, and technical tasks, provided the authors check the output.

What must be disclosed

• Any substantive use of AI, with the name of the tool and the purpose, in the manuscript.
• Routine spelling and grammar checks need no disclosure.

What is not allowed

• Listing an AI tool as an author. See Authorship Policies.
• Using AI-generated images or content as research evidence, unless this is part of a transparently described method.
• Presenting AI-generated text as the authors’ own work without disclosure. See the Plagiarism Policy.

Reviewers and editors

Reviewers and editors must not upload manuscripts or reviews to AI tools, and must not use AI to make assessments or decisions. See AI in Peer Review.

If the policy is not followed

Undisclosed or misleading use of AI is handled under Publication Ethics. A manuscript can be rejected, and a published article can be corrected or retracted. See Correction, Retraction and Withdrawal.
