Suspected undeclared use of generative artificial intelligence

Abstract

In a recent article in Intelligent Pharmacy, a portion of the text appears to have been generated by a generative artificial intelligence (AI) system. The usage of AI is not documented in the article. If AI was used, therefore, the article is in violation of the journal’s policy on generative AI use and declaration.
