❗ Important: Artificial intelligence tools cannot be cited in the bibliography, but the extent to which they were utilized must be explicitly stated.

AI Declaration

In the "Generative AI" section provided at the end of the article, information must be detailed regarding which AI tool was used, which sections it was used for and how, and what purpose it served. If no such usage occurred, the statement “No artificial intelligence tools were used in this study” must be written.

Responsibility

Any ethical and scientific issues, as well as scientific responsibilities that may arise regarding the use of AI in the research and writing process of the article, belong solely to the author(s).

AI-Related Studies

Otherwise, information and visual manipulation through the use of AI in studies not related to AI is considered an ethical violation.
