To uphold the originality and ethical standards of academic research, this journal hereby declares the following regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools:
Statement of Author Responsibilities
1. AI tools are prohibited from being listed as co‑authors. Submissions whose core content is generated by AI will not be accepted. Manuscripts violating this rule will be treated as acts of academic misconduct.
2. Authors must be natural persons with full academic defense capabilities, and bear full responsibility for the research design, authenticity of the data, and reliability of the conclusions. References that list an AI tool as the author are not permitted.
Disclosure Requirements for AI Use
If authors use AI tools for any of the following purposes, they must dedicate a separate paragraph in the "Methods" section to disclose the relevant information:
Data collection/analysis (specify the tool name, version, and specific steps of application)
Image/algorithm generation (include original generation parameters and records of manual modifications)
Language polishing (indicate the scope and proportion of modifications)
Such disclosure is necessary to enable reviewers and the editorial office to assess the originality of the manuscript. Failure to provide full disclosure as described above will be regarded as academic misconduct.
Statement of Reviewer Responsibilities
Review comments on a manuscript must be completed independently by the reviewer. Review comments generated by AI will be considered invalid.
Editorial Board of Journal of Traffic and Transportation Engineering
