A disclosure statement may be included in the acknowledgment or a separate section of the manuscript.

Data and Ethical Considerations

  • Authors must ensure that AI tools are used in compliance with ethical research standards
  • Confidential or sensitive data must not be input into AI systems without proper authorization
  • AI-generated outputs must not violate privacy, copyright, or data protection regulations
