This policy guides the responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in our publication, guaranteeing the integrity, transparency and excellence of the research we endorse.

Authorship: Artificial intelligence or similar tools do not qualify for authorship and cannot be included as co-authors.

Responsibility: The use of AI must be carefully supervised by the authors, who are responsible for errors, plagiarism and other malpractices that may occur in their research due to the use of artificial intelligence mechanisms. RDBCI believes that responsibility for the content of the article lies with the people who sign it.

Authenticity and originality: Authors who use AI to generate or analyze content must guarantee that their work is original and makes a significant contribution to the field of study.

Declaration of the use of AI: All manuscripts that use AI, whether in the generation, analysis, review or any other capacity, must clearly state this in the materials and methods section. In addition, authors should explicitly mention the extent of AI involvement.

Transparency: Authors must be transparent about the use of AI in the process of writing the manuscript, including detailed information (name, version, model, source, parameters used) about how the technology was used and what role AI played in the development of the text.

Limitations: In the case of using AI as a research tool, authors should discuss limitations and potential biases in the text.
