To ensure transparency, academic integrity, and ethical publication practices, the journal establishes the following policy:

1. Permitted Use
   Authors may use GenAI tools only for language-related assistance, such as improving grammar, spelling, readability, or clarity of the manuscript. The use of GenAI must not replace the author’s own scholarly analysis, interpretation, or critical thinking.
2. Prohibited Use
   GenAI tools must not be used to:
• Generate original research data, results, or interpretations
• Produce substantial parts of the manuscript’s intellectual content
• Manipulate citations, references, or research findings
• Act as an author or co-author
3. Authorship and Responsibility
   GenAI tools cannot be listed as authors under any circumstances. All responsibility for the content, originality, accuracy, and ethical compliance of the manuscript rests solely with the human authors.
4. Disclosure Requirement
   Authors are required to disclose the use of GenAI tools in their manuscript explicitlyshould be included in a dedicated section (e.g., Acknowledgements or Declaration of AI Use), specifying:
• The name of the GenAI tool used
• The purpose of its use (e.g., language editing)
5. Peer Review and Editorial Use
   Reviewers and editors must not upload manuscripts or confidential materials into GenAI tools, in order to protect author confidentiality and intellectual property.
6. Ethical Compliance
   Any undisclosed or inappropriate use of GenAI may be considered a violation of publication ethics and may result in manuscript rejection or retraction, in accordance with the journal’s ethical guidelines.
