Policy on the use of artificial intelligence

The use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools for the development of content in any section of the manuscript must be declared in the document, in the Materials and Methods section, indicating the program used and the form, extent, and scope of its use.

It is the responsibility of the author(s) to verify the validity and accuracy of the information generated by the generative AI used, ensure the absence of bias, and provide proper intellectual authorship credits for the published knowledge (regarding the sources consulted by the AI).

The following actions are not permitted regarding the use of AI in submitted manuscripts:

• Assuming authorship or co-authorship of the work by AI.
• Design or modification of images included in the document.

If the undeclared use of generative AI is detected in the manuscript's writing (without proper acknowledgment and without a declaration of its use) or in images, tables, graphs, or any other element or section, the document will be rejected.

Educiencia's policy on the use of generative artificial intelligence adheres to the ethical principles and recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Therefore, authors submitting material must ensure the integrity and transparency of their scientific production.
