Guidelines to Authors
BEFORE SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPT
Authors are required by frontiers to choose the proper article type for their contribution and to adhere to the subject areas specified by the journal.
Writers should only employ generative artificial intelligence (AI) and AI-assisted technologies to enhance language and readability throughout the writing process.
We prohibit plagiarism and enforce stringent grammar standards in the manuscript to ensure academic integrity and excellence in order for Frontiers to consider them for publication.
We oppose both the fabrication of data or images (that is, fake or made-up data) and falsification of data or images (that is, the intentional misrepresentation or deceptive manipulation of data).
When submitting an article, authors should carefully review and study current issues of the journal to ensure proper structure and language.
