Plagiarism and originality
All submissions are subject to editorial checks for originality and inappropriate text overlap prior to external review. Where necessary, similarity-detection tools may be used as part of the initial screening.
Generative AI: integrity and confidentiality
To protect confidentiality and the integrity of editorial assessment, editors and reviewers must not upload submitted manuscripts, reviewer reports, or related correspondence into generative AI systems. If authors use AI-assisted tools for language editing or formatting support, this must be transparently disclosed, and authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of the manuscript.
