Before you begin

Ethics in publishing

Please see our information pages on Ethics in publishing and Ethical guidelines for journal publication.

Submissions

to KeAi journals are automatically screened using iThenticate's

CrossCheck within the editorial system to detect instances of

overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. High similarity

papers will be desk rejected. When a plagiarism complaint is raised, we

recommend following the actions here.

Consent for publication

If

your research or manuscript contains any individual person's data in

any form (including any individual details, images or videos), consent

for publication must be obtained from that person, or in the case of

children, their parent or legal guardian. All presentations of case

reports must have consent for publication.

Declaration of competing interest

From

Volume 3, Issue 3, all authors must disclose any financial and personal

relationships with other people or organizations that could

inappropriately influence (bias) their work. Examples of potential

conflicts of interest include employment, consultancies, stock

ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent

applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Authors should

complete the declaration of competing interest statement using this

template and upload to the submission system at the Attach/Upload Files

step. Note: Please do not convert the .docx template to another file

type. Author signatures are not required. If there are no interests to

declare, please choose the first option in the template. More

information

Submission declaration and verification

Submission

of an article implies that the work described has not been published

previously (except in the form of an abstract, a published lecture or

academic thesis, see 'Multiple, redundant or concurrent publication' for

more information), that it is not under consideration for publication

elsewhere, that its publication is approved by all authors and tacitly

or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried

out, and that, if accepted, it will not be published elsewhere in the

same form, in English or in any other language, including electronically

without the written consent of the copyright-holder. To verify

compliance, your article may be checked by Crossref Similarity Check and

other originality or duplicate checking software.

Use of inclusive language

Inclusive

language acknowledges diversity, conveys respect to all people, is

sensitive to differences, and promotes equal opportunities. Content

should make no assumptions about the beliefs or commitments of any

reader; contain nothing which might imply that one individual is

superior to another on the grounds of age, gender, race, ethnicity,

culture, sexual orientation, disability or health condition; and use

inclusive language throughout. Authors should ensure that writing is

free from bias, stereotypes, slang, reference to dominant culture and/or

cultural assumptions. We advise to seek gender neutrality by using

plural nouns (“clinicians, patients/clients”) as default/wherever

possible to avoid using “he, she,” or “he/she.” We recommend avoiding

the use of descriptors that refer to personal attributes such as age,

gender, race, ethnicity, culture, sexual orientation, disability or

health condition unless they are relevant and valid. These guidelines

are meant as a point of reference to help identify appropriate language

but are by no means exhaustive or definitive.

Please

write your text in good English (American or British usage is accepted,

but not a mixture of these). Authors who feel their English language

manuscript may require editing to eliminate possible grammatical or

spelling errors and to conform to correct scientific English may wish to

use the English Language Editing service available from Elsevier's

WebShop.

Declaration of generative AI in scientific writing

Authors

are encouraged to declare the use of generative AI in scientific

writing upon submission of the paper. The following guidance refers only

to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and

draw insights from data as part of the research process:

Generative

AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be used in the writing

process to improve the readability and language of the manuscript.

The

technology must be applied with human oversight and control and authors

should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate

authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or

biased. Authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the

contents of the work.

Authors

must not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or

co-author on the manuscript since authorship implies responsibilities

and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.

The

use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing

can be declared by adding a statement at the end of the manuscript when

the paper is first submitted. The statement will appear in the

published work and should be placed in a new section before the

references list. An example:

Title of new section: Declaration of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in the writing process.

Statement:

During the preparation of this work the author(s) used [NAME TOOL /

SERVICE] in order to [REASON]. After using this tool/service, the

author(s) reviewed and edited the content as needed and take(s) full

responsibility for the content of the published article.

The

declaration does not apply to the use of basic tools, such as tools

used to check grammar, spelling and references. If you have nothing to

disclose, you do not need to add a statement.

We advise you to read our policy for authors on the use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies for Elsevier.

Please

note: to protect authors’ rights and the confidentiality of their

research, this journal does not currently allow the use of Generative AI

or AI-assisted technologies such as ChatGPT or similar services by

reviewers or editors in the peer review and manuscript evaluation

process. We are actively evaluating compliant AI tools and may revise

this policy in the future.

Preprints

Please

note that preprints can be shared anywhere at any time, in line with

Elsevier's sharing policy. Sharing your preprints e.g. on a preprint

server will not count as prior publication (see 'Multiple, redundant or

concurrent publication' for more information).

Authorship Statement

For

transparency, we encourage authors to submit an author statement file

outlining their individual contributions to the paper using the relevant

CRediT roles: Conceptualization; Data curation; Formal analysis;

Funding acquisition; Investigation; Methodology; Project administration;

Resources; Software; Supervision; Validation; Visualization;

Roles/Writing - original draft; Writing - review & editing.

Authorship statements should be formatted with the names of authors

first and CRediT role(s) following.

Sample CRediT author statement

Zhang

San: Conceptualization, Methodology, Software Priya Singh.: Data

curation, Writing- Original draft preparation. Wang Wu: Visualization,

Investigation. Jan Jansen: Supervision. Ajay Kumar: Software,

Validation. Sun Qi: Writing- Reviewing and Editing.

More information can be viewed here.

Changes to authorship

This policy concerns the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted manuscripts:

Before

the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Requests to

add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent

to the Journal Manager from the corresponding author of the accepted

manuscript and must include: (a) the reason the name should be added or

removed, or the author names rearranged and (b) written confirmation

(e-mail, fax, letter) from all authors that they agree with the

addition, removal or rearrangement. In the case of addition or removal

of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or

removed. Requests that are not sent by the corresponding author will be

forwarded by the Journal Manager to the corresponding author, who must

follow the procedure as described above. Note that: (1) Journal Managers

will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests and (2)

publication of the accepted manuscript in an online issue is suspended

until authorship has been agreed.

After

the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue: Any requests

to add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published in an

online issue will follow the same policies as noted above and result in a

corrigendum.
