Policy on the use of generative artificial intelligence

The attribution of authorship entails responsibility for the content of the work. In this sense, given that Astragalus checks all manuscripts with TURNITIN and already incorporates a tool that detects the use of Artificial Intelligence, these considerations will be taken into account:

1. The use of tools that use AI is allowed.

2. If they are used, this must be declared in advance, in the "observations" section during the submission process. In no case will the text created by the AI be allowed to exceed 10% of the total number of words in the body of the text, excluding references.

3. In the case of images obtained with any of the AI techniques, they must also be documented in a timely manner in the captions, as a source, placing as the author/s, those who have produced the image and always with the copyright guaranteed for publication. The editorial committee will analyse each particular case and determine its relevance in order to avoid any ethical conflict.

4. Bibliographic references constructed with AI models, and which are not valid in their verification, will be discarded.
