Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Rules for authors

1. AI tools may not replace the creative process, nor may they be treated as authors or co-authors. Any use of AI technology must be transparent.
2. Materials generated by artificial intelligence may appear in a submitted text only where their presence is justified.
3. Authors are required to document any use of AI. Textual and visual materials generated by artificial intelligence must be clearly identified, and such identification must include the name of the tool used and the date of creation.
4. AI-generated materials that are not properly identified shall be treated as plagiarism, with all consequences provided for in the journal’s editorial policy.
5. No separate disclosure is required for the use of AI for other purposes, for example at the stage of general inspiration or as a tool supporting literature searches, language correction, text composition, or the generation of keywords and abstracts.
6. Authors are required to ascertain which licences and copyright rules apply to materials generated by artificial intelligence. Where necessary, they must obtain the appropriate permissions from rights holders before submitting the text.
7. Authors are required to verify fully and independently the accuracy, completeness, and impartiality of any output generated by AI. This applies in particular to the verification of sources cited by AI, as references generated by AI may be incorrect or fabricated.
