Recommendations on the Use of AI in Scholarly Communication

Authorship: AI should not be listed as a co-author; authors are responsible for the accuracy of the content.
Citation: AI-generated results should not be used as primary sources; verification of all citations is recommended.
Data Manipulation: Use of AI in data collection, analysis, or visualization should be disclosed in the appropriate sections of the manuscript.
Copywriting: Report the use of AI for copyediting and style, preferably in specific sections such as acknowledgements.
Peer Review: Reviewers should disclose the use of AI and follow the journal's guidelines to ensure transparency.
