Abstract
With the rapid proliferation of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and large language models (LLM), the landscape of scientific publishing is undergoing profound changes. As a leading journal in preventive medicine, we embrace technological advancements to enhance research efficiency, but we must reaffirm the core principle of scientific integrity. This editorial clearly defines our policies and expectations regarding the use of artificial intelligence in manuscript preparation, writing, and peer review, aiming to balance the utilization of innovative tools with the adherence to academic ethics.
