Declaration on the use of AI tools and LLM

Issues in Ethnology and Anthropology conforms to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)’s position statement on Authorship and AI tools and  WAME recommendations on chat bots, ChatGPT and scholarly manuscripts.

• AI bots, such as ChatGPT and similar, cannot be listed as authors on your submission.
• Authors must clearly indicate the use of tools based on large language models and generative AI in the manuscript - which tool was used and for what purpose. This should be explain in the Methodology section, and in the form of Declaration of the use of AI tools.
• Declaration of the use of AI tools in the manuscript must appear before References.
• Authors are responsible for the accuracy, validity, and appropriateness of any content generated by tools based on LLM and generative AI and they must ensure that the cited references are correct and that the submission is free from plagiarism.
• Authors are fully responsible for the content of their manuscript, even those parts produced by an AI tool, and are thus liable for any breach of publication ethics.
