AI Usage & Generative Tools Policy

Introduction

Femington Academic Publishing recognizes the increasing role of artificial intelligence (AI) and generative tools in research and scholarly writing. While these technologies may assist with language quality and workflow efficiency, their use must be transparent, responsible, and consistent with the integrity of the scientific record.
