Declaration of Generative AI Use

Authors must clearly disclose the use of generative AI tools in the preparation of their manuscripts when submitting the paper. EJTL recognizes the potential of Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies ('AI Tools') to help researchers work efficiently, gain critical insights quickly, and achieve better outcomes, such as checking references, language editing, or other purposes, when used responsibly. Authors preparing a manuscript for this journal can use AI tools to support them. However, these tools should never replace human critical thinking, expertise, and evaluation. AI technology should always be applied with human oversight and control. Ultimately, authors are responsible and accountable for the content of their work. The use of AI tools in the manuscript preparation process must be declared by adding a statement at the end of the manuscript when the paper is first submitted. This statement will appear in the published work and should be placed in a new section before the references list.

An example:

• Title of new section: Declaration of generative AI use in the manuscript preparation process.

• Statement: during the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME OF TOOL/SERVICE] available at (MENTION THE LINK) in order to (REASON]. After using this tool/service, the author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full responsibility for the content of the published article.
