This policy guides the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in our publication, ensuring the integrity, transparency, and research excellence we endorse.

Authorship: Artificial intelligence tools or similar technologies 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. Temáticas maintains that responsibility for the article's content rests solely with the individuals who sign it.

Authenticity and Originality: Authors employing AI to generate or analyze content must ensure that their work is original and contributes significantly to the field of study.

Declaration of AI Use: All manuscripts that utilize AI – whether in generation, analysis, review, or any other capacity – must clearly indicate this in the designated section at the end of the document, as per the template. Furthermore, authors must explicitly mention the extent of AI involvement.

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

Limitations: If AI is used as a research tool, the text must discuss its limitations and potential biases.
