English is the official language of the journal. All manuscripts submitted for publication, as well as all published content, must be written in English.
Authors whose first language is not English are encouraged to ensure that their manuscripts are carefully reviewed for linguistic clarity and academic style before submission. The use of professional language editing services or digital tools, including grammar-checking and language-enhancement software, is permitted for the sole purpose of improving linguistic quality.
The use of artificial intelligence–based or generative tools is acceptable only when strictly limited to language correction, grammar, and stylistic refinement. Such tools must not be used to generate, modify, analyze, or interpret scientific content, data, or conclusions. Authors remain fully responsible for the originality, accuracy, and integrity of their manuscripts, regardless of the tools employed during preparation.
Any use of artificial intelligence-based or generative tools, including but not limited to language editing software, automated writing assistants, or large language models, must be transparently disclosed by the authors in a dedicated statement at the end of the manuscript. This disclosure must specify:
- the name of the tool or software used,
- the version or model, where applicable, and
- the specific purpose of its use (e.g., language editing or grammar correction).
Failure by the authors to disclose the use of such tools constitutes a breach of accepted standards of research integrity, publication ethics, and transparency, and may result in appropriate editorial action in accordance with the journal’s ethical policies.
Manuscripts may be subject to linguistic and editorial assessment as part of the evaluation process. The editorial office reserves the right to request language revisions where necessary to ensure clarity, precision, and academic readability.
