For manuscript writing, generative AI may be used only to improve the language and readability of your own text, and its use must be disclosed — the tool, its purpose and your review of the output. Basic spelling, grammar, punctuation and reference-formatting checks need no disclosure. AI cannot be an author or replace original research. If AI is part of your research method, describe it in the methodology. Abstract submissions use the separate disclosure field in the form; full papers also include the statement before the References. → Generative AI Author Policy
