Publication Ethics Statement
The submission of a manuscript for review by the VRME editorial board indicates that your material is not currently published or submitted for publication elsewhere--in print or online. If an article is accepted for publication, the author(s) retain the copyright and accept sole liability for the content of the article, releasing the Editorial Board of VRME, the University of Connecticut, and their officers and employees from liability for any harmful actions resulting from the content and use of the material published.
In accordance with APA publishing policies, Authors should disclose the use of AI Tools for manuscript preparation in an AI declaration statement in their manuscript upon submission. Authors should document their use of AI, including the name of the AI Tool used, the purpose of the use, and the extent of their oversight. Declaring the use of AI Tools supports transparency and trust between authors, readers, reviewers, editors and contributors and facilitates compliance with the terms of use of the relevant AI Tool. Basic checks of grammar, spelling and punctuation need no declaration. AI use in the research process should be declared and described in detail in the methods section.
