Generative AI

- There is a growing recognition that Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI (GenAI) can be a valuable auxiliary tool in academic research. The use of AI assistance is therefore permissible, but must be credited. Authors can either use the credit ‘GenAI’ or, if preferred, they may use the name ‘Mary Smith’, as follows: ‘[paper title] by [author/s] and Mary Smith’.
