AI Usage Statement

Authors must include a mandatory statement regarding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their manuscript. This statement should be placed at the end of the text, before the References section, under the title "AI Usage Statement."

If AI tools were used, authors must provide the following details:

• Name of the AI tool or model used.
• Purpose of using the AI tool, such as text revision and improvement (grammar, clarity, conciseness), manuscript structuring, reference formatting, data analysis and processing, code generation for data analysis, or assistance in literature review.
• Extent of AI contribution to the work.

Example disclosure statement:
"The authors used [AI Tool Name] for [specific purpose, e.g., grammatical revision and reference formatting], with a [minimal/moderate/substantial] contribution. All content was reviewed and edited by the authors, who assume full responsibility for the final manuscript."

Additionally, the prompts used during research and manuscript preparation must be publicly shared, with the corresponding link provided in the "Data Accessibility Statement" section.

If no AI tools were used, authors must include the following statement:
"The authors declare that no AI tools were used in the creation of this manuscript or in any aspect of the research reported in it."

This requirement ensures transparency in AI usage and upholds the integrity of academic research. Regardless of AI involvement, authors remain fully responsible for their manuscript’s content.

By following these guidelines, Cadernos de Linguística aligns with international ethical standards, promoting transparency and accountability in AI-assisted academic publishing.

Research Preregistration (if applicable)

Authors must also indicate in this section whether the conducted research was preregistered with or without an analysis plan in an independent, institutional registry. If the authors did preregister the research with or without an analysis plan, they must confirm in the text that the study was registered prior to conducting the research with links to the time­stamped preregistrations at the institutional registry, and in case an analysis plan is includes, report if there were changes in the plan following preregistration. Those changes must be disclosed with explanation for the changes. Finally, the authors must clearly distinguish in text analyses that were preregistered from those that were not, such as having separate sections in the results for confirmatory and exploratory analyses.

Place this information at the end of the text, before the References section, titled Research Preregistration.

Ethics and consent (if applicable)

Research involving human subjects, human material, or human data, must have been performed in accordance with the principles of respect of persons, beneficence, and justice as outlined by the Belmont Report. Where applicable, the studies must have been approved by an appropriate ethics committee and the authors should include a statement within the article text detailing this approval, including the name of the ethics committee and reference number of the approval. The identity of the research subject should be anonymised whenever possible. For research involving human subjects, informed consent to participate in the study must be obtained from participants (or their legal guardian).

Disclosure of Funding Sources (if applicable)

Authors are required to declare what support they received to carry out their research. Declaring funding sources acknowledges funders’ contributions, fulfills funding requirements, and promotes greater transparency in the research process.
