Describe what you used. Cite it clearly.
Choose the template that reflects your actual work. Adapt the placeholders and check the requirements of your institution or target journal.

These requirements are separate. Check each one for your use.
AI disclosure follows the venue’s rules
Journal and institutional policies vary by use. Check the current policy for explanatory illustrations, data visualizations and original research images.
Publication rights follow your license
