Authorship

A person qualifies as an author if they have made a substantial contribution to the design of the research, the collection or analysis of data, the preparation of the manuscript, and the approval of its final version. The provision of funding, professional guidance, technical, editorial, or administrative support alone does not in itself qualify a person for authorship.

The corresponding author is responsible for submitting the manuscript, ensuring the accuracy of the data, properly crediting all authors, and ensuring that all co-authors have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript and have consented to its submission and publication.

Plagiarism Screening

Authors are encouraged to verify the originality of their manuscripts and ensure the proper citation of all sources before submission. The Editorial Board does not accept for publication manuscripts containing plagiarism or self-plagiarism that is inconsistent with accepted standards of scholarly publishing.
