The PSE editorial team declares that its policy on the use of generative artificial intelligence in academic and scientific literature strictly follows the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

• - Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools cannot be acknowledged as authors in PSE publications.
• - Authors must declare the contribution of AI in the "Acknowledgements" section of the manuscripts, specifying the specific tasks for which it was used.
• - AI tools do not need to be reported when used for proofreading purposes, as long as they are used to improve the readability, style of the manuscript or to correct grammatical and spelling errors. While AI can help to fine-tune writing, it cannot generate content autonomously. Human authors are responsible for ensuring that the final text is original.
• - PSE reviewers are not allowed to use AI during the manuscript review process, as this could jeopardise the authors' intellectual property rights.
• - PSE uses available tools for the detection of generative artificial intelligence.
• - In the event that the use of generative artificial intelligence is detected in the writing of the manuscript, authors will be contacted and notified of the rejection of the paper.

It is essential that researchers adhere to these ethical guidelines to ensure transparency and integrity in scientific production.
