Authorship Policy

The author bears responsibility for the integrity of the work submitted to the Journal for publication.

In the case of multiple contributors to the preparation of the manuscript, the list of authors must be limited to those who have made significant intellectual contributions to the submitted research, including study design, execution, interpretation of the reported study, and manuscript writing. All individuals who have made substantial contributions must be listed as co-authors.

Those who contributed to essential aspects of the manuscript without intellectual contribution shall be acknowledged only in the Acknowledgements section of the manuscript. One of the authors must be designated as the corresponding author responsible for communication with the Journal and for approving the final version of the manuscript for publication.

The Journal follows the standards of the International Committee of Publication Ethics (COPE). All authors must have clearly contributed to the intellectual or practical aspects of the article. This includes contributions to study design, data collection, data analysis, drafting, or substantial revision of the manuscript. It is not permitted to include names of individuals who did not actively participate in the research. The order of authorship must be agreed upon by all authors prior to submission.
