This includes content that is generated from scratch by an AI system, as well as content initially created by a human author but is then substantially modified by an AI system.
Where authors use generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, authors should only use these technologies to improve readability and language quality. The application of such technology should be done with human oversight and control, and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased.
Principles
JRTLE will then review the AI-generated content and decide whether it is suitable for publication, if:

Authors must disclose the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by adding a statement at the end of their manuscript in the core manuscript file, before the References list. The statement should be placed in a new section entitled 'Declaration of Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process. Please note that authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
