Policy on the Use of AI
For Authors
Transparency of AI use
Authors are required to clearly disclose in the cover letter any AI tools used in the preparation of the manuscript.
Authorship limitations
AI cannot be listed as an author or co-author of a scholarly work. Authorship is reserved for individuals who have made a significant intellectual contribution to the research.
Responsibility for content
Authors bear full responsibility for the accuracy, originality, and ethical integrity of the submitted work, including any content generated with the assistance of AI tools. The Editorial Board of the Visnyk LNAM assumes no responsibility for errors or inaccuracies generated by AI.
Use of AI in research analysis

Originality and plagiarism
The use of AI must not result in violations of academic integrity, including plagiarism.
For Reviewers
Ethical considerations in AI use
Reviewers are advised to use AI tools with caution when assisting in the peer review process. The review must reflect the reviewer’s independent expert judgment.
Confidentiality
Reviewers must not upload manuscript content to publicly accessible or unsecured AI tools, as this may compromise the confidentiality of the peer review process.
For the Editorial Board

Ethical Principles
The use of AI must not violate the principles of academic integrity, copyright, or confidentiality, and must not be employed to manipulate peer review outcomes or authorship attribution.
Any violations related to undisclosed or improper use of AI will be treated as potential breaches of publication ethics.
