YaroslavtsevThe use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in the preparation of scientific publications has become an integral part of research practice. Large language models assist in translating and editing texts, structuring articles, drafting abstracts, adapting manuscripts to journal requirements, and accelerating preliminary literature reviews, among other useful functions. However, the technical utility of the tool does not alter the fundamental principle: a scientific article remains the product of a researcher's work, for which they bear responsibility. AI cannot be recognized as a co-author, nor can it be held accountable for data authenticity, the correctness of chemical nomenclature, the logic of the presentation, the completeness of citations, or the validity of conclusions. This article presents the position of Editors-in-Chief and Editorial Board members from several Russian chemistry journals regarding the use of AI in preparing scientific publications. To practically regulate the use of AI in scientific article preparation, the VALENCE set of rules is proposed, in alignment with international publishing practices. <br> Bibliography includes 42 references.
