AI Policy

Arta Medica recognizes the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and large language model (LLM) tools in scientific writing and research. The following policy applies to all manuscripts submitted to the journal.
1. Authorship
AI tools (e.g. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot or similar) cannot be listed as authors. Authorship requires accountability for the work, which AI tools cannot assume. Authors are fully responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of all submitted content, regardless of whether AI tools were used in its preparation.
2. Disclosure requirement
Authors who use AI tools to assist in writing, editing, or structuring their manuscript must disclose this in the Methods section or in an Acknowledgements statement, specifying the tool used and the purpose (e.g. language editing, grammar checking, text summarization).
Example disclosure:
"The authors used [Tool Name] for language editing of the manuscript. The scientific content, data, and conclusions are entirely the authors' own."
3. Peer review
Reviewers are prohibited from uploading manuscript content into AI tools, as this would violate the confidentiality of the review process.
4. Fabricated content
The use of AI to generate fictitious data, references, or results is considered research misconduct and will result in immediate rejection or retraction of the manuscript.
5. Images and figures
AI-generated images must be disclosed and must not misrepresent research data.
