AI-generated texts

Attention! Our publishers have included some important information on AI-generated texts in the scientific publications:

This policy refers to generative AI tools, i.e generative models for the creation of new content in the form of text, images, audio, video, software code, or data sets. Currently known examples include text-generating chatbots such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, or LLaMA as well as image-generating AI tools such as DALL-E, Stable Diffusion, or Midjourney.

• In accordance with the COPE position statement on Authorship and AI tools, AI tools cannot be listed as authors of a paper. These tools cannot take responsibility for the submitted work and hence do not meet the requirements for authorship such as the ability to declare competing interests or to agree to the license agreement.
• Any use of AI tools in the writing of a manuscript, image/graphic generation, or in the collection and analysis of data, must be disclosed transparently in the paper by describing for what purpose and how AI tools were used. Moreover, it has to be stated which AI tool(s) were used and when they were used.
• When authors use AI for literature research, they always need to verify the sources as AI-generated references may be inaccurate or non-existent. Submission containing non-existent references will be rejected.
• The use of AI tools in the review process is not permitted, as the confidentiality of the submissions cannot be guaranteed. Furthermore, the reviewers are fully responsible for the content of their reviews.
