The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in writing
This policy aims to provide greater transparency and guidance to authors, readers, reviewers, editors in relation to generative AI and AI-assisted technologies. MetaACES will monitor this development and will adjust or refine this policy when appropriate. Please note the policy only refers to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyze and draw insights from data as part of the research process.
Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be employed to enhance the readability and language quality of the manuscript. The application of such technologies must be performed under human supervision and control. Authors are obligated to carefully review and edit the AI-generated content, recognizing that AI can produce seemingly authoritative outputs that may be inaccurate, incomplete, or biased. Authors bear ultimate responsibility and accountability for the content of their work.
Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies must not be listed or cited as authors or co-authors, as authorship entails responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.
