AI / LLM Disclosure Policy

Artificial-Intelligence and Large-Language-Model Disclosure Policy

Gnosis aligns with the recommendations of the ICMJE (2023 update), WAME, and COPE.

For authors

  1. Authorship. AI tools cannot be listed as authors. Human authors remain fully responsible.
  2. Disclosure. Use of generative AI must be disclosed in a dedicated "AI Assistance" subsection of Methods or in Acknowledgements, specifying model, version, task, and extent of human editing.
  3. Limits. AI-generated images may not be submitted as primary research figures without declaration and editorial approval. AI may not be used to fabricate or replace experimental data, nor to write peer-review reports prior to submission.
  4. Citations. Authors who have used AI in drafting must independently verify every citation.

For reviewers

  1. Confidentiality. Reviewers may not use any AI tool that retains, trains on, or transmits manuscript content to a third party.
  2. Disclosure. Any use of AI tools must be disclosed to the handling editor.
  3. Accountability. Reviewers remain fully responsible for the content of their reviews.

For the journal's own workflow

The journal's editorial team may use AI-assisted tools (including large language models) to support triage, citation verification, plagiarism screening, and reproducibility checks. AI does not make editorial decisions; all final decisions rest with named human editors.
