AI Usage Disclosure Statement

The Revista de Sanidad Militar (RSM) recognizes the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, both generative and non-generative, in the processes of scientific research, writing, and evaluation. This declaration constitutes the overarching framework that regulates the use of these tools across all sections and editorial processes of the journal, and its application is mandatory for authors, reviewers, and the editorial team.

This declaration is interpreted in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the principles of integrity, transparency, and responsibility that govern biomedical publishing.

General Principle and Responsibility

The use of artificial intelligence tools is conceived exclusively as technical support under expert human supervision. Under no circumstances may AI substitute scientific, clinical, or editorial judgment, nor assume academic, ethical, or legal responsibilities.

AI tools cannot be listed as authors or co-authors of manuscripts. The responsibility for the originality, veracity, integrity, and traceability of the submitted content—including text, data, images, and references—rests fully with the authors, reviewers, and editors, as applicable.

Permitted Uses

The use of artificial intelligence tools is permitted solely as technical support in tasks such as copyediting, translation, preliminary organization of information, or computational support in data analysis, provided that such use does not compromise the scientific or clinical integrity of the content and remains under direct human control.
