Policy related to the use of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) and several of its applications have also found a place in the scientific publishing ecosystem. The ECIMED Advisory Council for Scientific Publication approved the “Basic Principles on the Use of AI in Scientific Publications” Policy.They are:

Attribution of authorship carries responsibility for the content of the work, which cannot be applied to Large Language Models (LLMs). In that case, ChatGPT does not meet our authorship criteria.

The use of an LLM should be adequately documented in the methods section (if no Methods section is available, in an appropriate alternative part) of the manuscript. In the case of images obtained with any of the AI techniques, they must also be documented in the corresponding section of the manuscript.

The Editorial Committee will analyze each case in particular and determine its relevance in order to avoid any type of ethical conflict.

If it is referenced, it must be done as a secondary source whose author is Open IA.

Bibliographic references built with LLM models such as ChatGPT, that are not valid in their verification, will be discarded
