Policy on AI assisting tools

The journal editors recognize that artificial intelligence (AI) support tools can be used by authors  to support scholarly endeavors. At the same time, the use of such tools must comply with the principles of academic integrity, transparency and accountability.

Reviewers are strictly prohibited from using AI tools to evaluate the content of an article or to generate the text of their review.

Editors must not upload manuscripts to AI tools to protect authors’ confidentiality and intellectual property

Permitted Use

It is allowed to use AI for:
• language editing, grammar and style checking;
• translation of texts;
• structuring of the material;
• generation of ideas subject to further independent scientific processing;
• technical assistance (for example, in programming or data processing).

Restrictions

Prohibited:
• submit a fully generated AI text as an author's scientific result;
• use AI to fabricate data, research results or sources;
• violate copyright;
• enter confidential or unpublished data into AI systems without proper authorization.

Mandatory disclosure of information

Authors should report the use of AI tools in the manuscript (e.g., in the Acknowledgments section or in a separate statement).
Example wording:
"During the preparation of the manuscript, the author(s) used artificial intelligence tools for language editing of the text. All scientific ideas, interpretations and conclusions belong to the authors."
AI tools cannot be listed as co-authors of an article.

Responsibility

The authors are fully responsible for the content of the article. The use of AI does not release from responsibility for the accuracy, reliability and originality of the material.

Control and consequences of violation5. Responsibility

In case of detection of violations, the editorial office reserves the right to:
• reject the manuscript;
• withdraw an already published article;
• notify the author's institution of a violation of academic integrity.
