AI Statement
Peer review must remain a human-led process. While AI technologies may assist in various ways, they must not replace the reviewer’s expertise, judgment, and responsibility. In accordance with these guidelines, [SJES] requires full transparency regarding the use of Generative AI (GenAI) tools in research and manuscript preparation. GenAI may be used for minor tasks in the publishing process (e.g., language editing, data visualization), but must not replace human intellectual contributions or produce fabricated content.GenAI tools cannot be credited as authors, as they do not meet the criteria for authorship which include substantial intellectual contribution, active involvement in drafting or revising the work, and accountability for the content.Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and ethical compliance of their submissions, even when AI tools are employed. All work must meet established standards of academic integrity, proper attribution, scientific rigor, and originality.
