AI Policy

For authors

MCLP only allows the use of AI-tools (including LLMs) for language copy-editing purposes and does not need to be declared. Any other use of AI-tools is not compatible with the journal's goals. This means that AI-tools have exclusively been used to improve human-generated texts for readability and style, removing errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and tone. Submitted manuscripts may include formatted texts, but without any autonomous content creation or generative editorial work. Human authors are ultimately accountable for the final version of the text, including for any formatting changes they accepted, which had been generated by AI-tools. 

For peer-reviewers

Peer reviewers are asked not to upload manuscripts into generative AI tools, and to refrain from using AI-tools (including LLMs) to generate peer reviews.
