RMD primarily focuses on the quality and citation potential of submitted articles. Authors using artificial intelligence in their article writing must adhere to the following measures:

1. Authors must highlight the parts of their articles where artificial intelligence was used in "blue" color.
2. Authors must specify which sections of their articles were written using artificial intelligence and for what purpose.
3. Authors must include a section titled "Artificial Intelligence Usage Transparency Declaration" before the references in their manuscripts. Authors who do not use artificial intelligence do not need to include this section.

Being a scientist requires academic transparency and honesty. We expect all our authors to embody these values, showing transparency and not misleading anyone.

Authors who are found to have used artificial intelligence without submitting an Artificial Intelligence Usage Transparency Declaration will be permanently banned from publishing in RMD under the "false and misleading statements" policy.

In cases where the author has declared the use of artificial intelligence in their manuscript, the decision on whether the manuscript constitutes a "fabrication ethical violation" will be made by the RMD editors. The author agrees to accept this decision. The primary basis for a fabrication decision includes significant deficiencies in the author's role in producing the manuscript, such as the lack of active involvement in generating ideas and testing hypotheses during the writing process.
