Declaration

Authors have to declare the statement including Conflict of Interest, Generative AI and AI-assisted Technologies in Publication, Data Availability Statement, Ethics Statement, Funding, and Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT), preceding the References section. The declaration aims to provide transparency, ethics & integrity, and accountability.

1. Conflict of Interest

Authors must declare conflicting interests.

2. Generative AI and AI-assisted Technologies in the Writing Process

Authors must include a statement at the end of their manuscript, preceding the References section. This statement should provide transparency regarding the use of such technologies in the creation of the manuscript. It should include the information below in a paragraph:

• What tool and version were used: g., ChatGPT-4, Grammarly (Premium Version), QuillBot (Version 2.0).
• How it was used: g., for editing, brainstorming, drafting, literature summary.
• The extent of its use: A brief sentence or a detailed paragraph.
• A statement of author responsibility: Affirming that the authors reviewed, edited, and are responsible for the final text.

Please note that retractions will be taken into action immediately if publication misconducts are found.

3. Data availability statement

A Data Availability Statement (DAS) is a formal declaration on the availability of the data that supports a publication's findings. It specifies if the data is accessible and provides details on its location and the methods required for access.

Example:

• The raw data are available to download from [Link].
• The raw cannot be shared at this time due to [reasons].

4. Ethics Statement

If the research work involves samples of human/animals, please declare the approval of the ethics for the experiments in your article as follows.

• The name of the ethics committee or Institutional Review Board (IRB) that approved the study.
• The approval number and date.
• A statement confirming that informed consent was obtained from human participants.

Moreover, please also attach the ethical approval document when submitting.

5. Funding (if applicable)

This section transparently declares all sources of financial support for the research. What to Include:

• Full name of the funding agency.
• Grant number(s) in parentheses.
• The initials of the authors who received the funding, if applicable.
• A statement about the funder's role in the research.

6. Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT)

To promote transparency and recognize the diverse contributions of researchers, we require an Author Contribution Statement for all submissions. This statement is based on the Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT), a high-level taxonomy used to identify and define the specific roles played by each contributor in the scholarly output.

6.1. How to Prepare Your CRediT Statement

During the submission process, you will be required to complete the "Author Contributions" section in the submission form. Please follow these guidelines:

• Responsibility: The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that the contributions of all authors are accurately represented and that all authors have reviewed and agreed to the final statement.
• Format: The statement should list each author by name, followed by the CRediT role(s) they fulfilled.
• Example: AAA AAA: Conceptualization, Writing – review & editing. BBB BBB: Methodology, Software, Writing – original draft.
• Flexibility:
• An author may be assigned multiple roles.
• A single role may be assigned to multiple authors.
• It is acceptable if some roles are not assigned to any author.

This information will be published as part of the final article.
