About Article Authorship (Author Distribution)

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made substantial contributions must be listed as co-authors.

Where others have participated in certain substantive aspects of the article (e.g., language editing or medical writing), they should be acknowledged in the acknowledgment section.

The corresponding author must ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the article, and that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the final version of the article and agreed to its submission for publication.

Authors are expected to carefully consider the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript and provide the final list of authors at the time of the original submission.

Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider (at their discretion) the addition, deletion, or rearrangement of authors after manuscript submission. The author must clearly indicate such a request to the Editor. All authors must agree to any addition, removal, or rearrangement.

Authors share collective responsibility for the work. Each individual author is responsible for ensuring that issues related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are properly investigated and resolved.
