Journal recognizes the possibility of using artificial intelligence (AI) tools and automated systems in the preparation of scientific materials, but requires transparency, responsibility of authors, and preservation of academic integrity.

AI can be an auxiliary tool, but cannot act as an author, co-author, or be responsible for the content of the work. The authors bear sole responsibility for the authenticity, originality, and correctness of the materials.

Permissible use of AI

Authors can use AI tools to:

language editing, grammar, style checking and translation of the text; technical formatting of the manuscript, preparation of tables, figures or code; supporting data analysis, visualization, programming or automation of calculations under the supervision of the researcher; literature search or structuring of the material as an auxiliary activity.

All results generated or processed using AI must be manually verified by the authors.

Unauthorized use of AI

It is prohibited to: generate AI of the main scientific content (results, conclusions, interpretations) without proper verification and authorship; fabricate or modify data, images, formulas, experiments, or results using AI; create fictitious references, sources, or citations; covertly use AI to write significant parts of the manuscript without disclosing this fact; indicate AI as an author or co-author.

Any use of AI for misleading purposes is considered a violation of publication ethics.

Disclosure of information about the use of AI

Authors are required to report transparently about the use of AI tools.

If AI was used, the manuscript must: indicate the name of the tool/service and version (if possible); describe the tasks for which it was used; confirm that all materials have been reviewed by the authors and meet the requirements of scientific integrity.

Recommended wording:

"AI tool(s) for language editing/translation/visualization/data analysis were used during manuscript preparation. The authors have fully reviewed and are responsible for the final content of the article."

If AI was not used, no additional statements are required.

Responsibility and control

The editorial board reserves the right to: request clarification regarding the use of AI; demand corrections or disclosures; reject manuscripts or withdraw publications in the event of covert or unethical use of AI.

Failure to comply with this policy may be considered a violation of publication ethics.
