Medical University of Lublin journals - guidelines for authors regarding use of AI tools
Author's responsibility: Content creation tools based on AI such as ChatGPT, Copilot, and other language models, may be used to support individual work on an article, but under no circumstances can they substitute author's personal input. Authors are fully responsible for the contents fo the article, including legitimacy of any information supplied by the AI tools and proper references to credible sources used to support claims in the article. The author(s) are solely responsible for any potential copyright violations resulting from the use of an AI tool.
Transparency of use: If an AI tool was employed at any stage and any capacity during the writing process, its use must be described in a transparent and precise manner. It is recommended to fully detail the extent of support the AI tool has provided in the writing process in order to ensure full transparency for readers and editors. The description should list the AI tools and prompts used to generate content.
Breadth of use: AI-based tools may be used to help at different stages of the writing process such as correction, contnent suggestion, or bibliography, but cannot function as independent authors. AI tools are not considered a legal person, nor can they be a copyright owner, therefore it is not possible to list these tools as co-authors.
Criteria of use: Using AI tools exclusively to correct spelling or grammar mistakes and in a broader context of text editing does not require a specific disclosure in the article. However, more advanced usage of AI tools necessitates following proper disclosure as delineated in previous paragraphs.
Editorial decision: Each case of AI tools use will be individually evaluated by the editorial board of the selected journal. Final decision on whether the specific use and/or specific AI tool is acceptable belongs to the editorial board and is determined by the character of each individual article and the editorial policy of the selected journal.
