Authors

Authors are responsible for ensuring that submitted manuscripts are original, have not been published previously, and are not simultaneously under consideration by another journal. Authors must accurately report their research findings, provide appropriate citations and references, disclose relevant sources of funding and conflicts of interest, and obtain appropriate permissions for the use of copyrighted materials. All individuals who have made substantial contributions to the research should be appropriately recognized as authors.
