Generative AI policy for authors

AI-assisted tools may be used only for limited language polishing, grammar, translation, formatting, and organization when the authors verify every output.
AI tools must not be listed as authors and do not replace author responsibility for accuracy, originality, references, data, and interpretation.
Any permitted text assistance must be disclosed in the AI-use statement with the tool name, purpose, and scope of use.
Images are closed: generative AI-created or AI-altered figures, graphical abstracts, photographs, charts representing research data, medical/scientific images, or visual evidence are not permitted for publication unless the study itself is about AI methods and the editor approves the documented method.

Withdrawal requests

Authors can request withdrawal from the author dashboard before publication by providing a reason.
The editorial office records the request, confirms the outcome by email, and stops reviewer activity if the withdrawal is approved.
After acceptance, production, or publication, contact the editorial office because withdrawals, corrections, and retractions require editorial handling.
