Site and Template Update: Additional Terms & Declarations
We announce a new site and template update.
Regarding our site, the major change is the addition of an "Ethics, Terms & Policies" page which aims to gather all information related to publication ethics, terms and policies in one place either in plain text or through links. We have also included explicit policies regarding AI use and the declaration of generative AI use. Other minor changes include adding a link to our "Online First" content in our "All Issues" page, rearranging the buttons in the right column of our site (under our cover), slightly modifying our home page and our About page, adding a statement in our "Indexing" page regarding indexing-related services etc.
Our new template now includes a separate section regarding DECLARATIONS with information about: Declaration of competing interests, Acknowledgment, Data availability and Declaration of generative AI use. We expect all new submissions to use this template after March 15, 2026. Regarding published material, the changes will be effective from our June 2026 issue and on. Articles that have been submitted before that date and are scheduled to be published in our June 2026 issue (or in later issues) will be updated with the collaboration of our copyediting team during the copyediting/proofreading stage.
