Use of Generative Artificial Intelligence Tools
The journal "Vestnik KEU" editorial board does not support the use of generative AI programs for writing sections of manuscripts. Authors using generative AI tools are encouraged to follow the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
According to COPE guidelines, if authors use AI tools for writing, generating images or graphics, or collecting and analyzing data, they must disclose how AI was used and specify which tools were employed in the methodology section of the manuscript. Authors bear full responsibility for the content of the manuscript, including AI-generated sections. Additionally, AI and AI-assisted technologies should not be listed as authors, as authorship entails responsibilities and obligations that apply only to humans.
A statement regarding the use of AI tools must be included when the manuscript is first submitted. This statement should be provided when uploading the manuscript to the journal’s online system. However, such disclosure is not required for basic tools used for grammar, spelling, or reference checks. If AI tools were not used, no statement is necessary.
