Generative AI Policy

Authors who use generative AI and AI-assisted technologies (AI tools) in the writing of a manuscript, production of images or graphical elements of the paper, or in the collection and analysis of data, must be transparent in disclosing in the manuscript which AI tool was used and how it was used. Authors are fully responsible for the content of their submitted manuscript, including any parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics. The specific AI tool used, and its purpose should be described in the Methods or Acknowledgments section. For further guidance, please refer to the Ethical Best Practices in Scholarly Publishing for Lippincott's policy on generative AI use for authors and journals.
