AI-statement
NoSo promotes scientific quality, transparency, and copyright. For manuscripts published in NoSo, generative AI may only be used as a tool for idea generation, linguistic/visual refinement, and translation, but not for core scientific writing. The use of AI tools in any part of the scientific process must always be disclosed and clearly described in the manuscript. This information must include Name of AI-tool, Version, What is was used for, and How the output was examined/verified. Regardless of AI-usage, the author always bears full responsibility for the entire content and scientific quality of the manuscript, including methodology, results, analysis, conclusions, figures/images, choice of words, citation management and references. In publications with multiple authors, each co-author always carries individual responsibility for the article in its entirety.
