- Prohibited use. AI tools must not be used to generate text content, data, graphs, images or any other main content of the manuscript.

- Responsibility. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy, originality and integrity of all content in their manuscript.
Reviewers and editors
Manuscripts under review are confidential. Reviewers and editors must not upload manuscripts, or any part of them, to generative AI tools, and must not use AI to write review reports or decision letters.
