Guidelines for the Use of AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the scientific landscape. AI tools are being used to automate a wide range of tasks, from data analysis to manuscript writing. While AI can be a valuable tool for scientists, it is important to use it responsibly.

These guidelines are intended to help scientists use AI in a way that is ethical and transparent.

• Disclose AI Use. Authors must disclose the use of AI in their manuscripts, including the specific AI tools and techniques used. This disclosure should be made in the Methods section.
• Explain AI Use. Authors must explain how AI was used in their manuscripts, including the specific steps that AI was used to perform. This explanation should be clear and detailed, so that readers can understand how AI was used and how it may have affected the results of the study.
• Take Responsibility for Content. Authors are still responsible for the content of their manuscripts, even if AI was used to generate some or all of the content. This means that authors must carefully review all AI-generated content and ensure that it is accurate, complete, and consistent with the authors' own research.
• Do Not Generate Misleading or Fraudulent Research. Authors must not use AI to generate misleading or fraudulent research. This includes using AI to generate false or fabricated data, to plagiarize other authors' work, or to create deceptive or misleading figures or tables.

Please notice that manuscripts that are submitted to Cad_Lin will be scrutinized for AI-generated content using current tools available.
