On the use of AI tools

Authoring tasks should not be transferred to AI. However, AI can be used to assist with these tasks, for example to support the initial screening of existing research.  Still, any kind of supporting input from AI must be critically reviewed, reflected upon and deepened by the author who bears full responsibility for the content of their submission.
