Authorship Policy

Authorship Policy

Only individuals who have made substantial intellectual contributions to the research and the preparation of the manuscript should be listed as authors. All listed authors must have participated sufficiently in the work to take public responsibility for its content and must approve the final version of the manuscript before submission. No deserving authors should be omitted.

The submitting/corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all eligible contributors are listed as authors. All authors must agree to the journal’s copyright and licensing terms. The journal does not permit ghost authorship, guest authorship, or honorary authorship. For co-authored manuscripts, each author’s contributions to the work must be clearly specified.

Any changes to authorship (including addition, removal, or reordering) after submission require the written consent of all authors and approval by the editorial office. Once published, no new authors can be added.

The journal communicates primarily with the corresponding author and does not mediate authorship disputes.

All submissions must be original, unpublished, and free from intellectual property or copyright violations, plagiarism, and breaches of confidentiality.
