Authorship Policies​​

• Authorship must be limited to individuals who have made substantial contributions to the conception, conduct, analysis, interpretation, or writing of the research.

• All listed authors must have participated in the preparation or critical revision of the manuscript and must agree to be accountable for their contributions.

• All co-authors must review and approve the final version of the manuscript before submission.

• Individuals who have contributed to the study but do not meet the criteria for authorship should be appropriately acknowledged rather than listed as authors.

• Changes in authorship, including the addition, removal, or rearrangement of authors, after submission should be made only with the agreement of all authors and, when applicable, the approval of the journal or editorial office.
