Artificial Intelligence Policy

Declaration of Generative AI in Scientific Writing

Nowadays, the use of artificial intelligence in the writing of original research articles is becoming widespread thanks to the developing technological conditions. The author is obliged to follow the ethical standards regarding the use of artificial intelligence in the writing of articles submitted to The New Journal of Urology. Where authors use generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process, authors should only use these technologies to improve readability and language. This may constitute standard plagiarism as the use of AI does not meet the criteria for authorship.

Applying the technology should be done with human oversight and control, and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete, or biased. AI and AI-assisted technologies should not be listed as an author or co-author or be cited as an author. The editors and reviewers of The New Journal of Urology are careful to evaluate the text in terms of the use of artificial intelligence tools that can generate references.

Authors should disclose in their manuscript the use of AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process by following the instructions below. A statement will appear in the published work. Please note that authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
