Authorship Criteria

Authorship is granted to individuals who make substantial contributions to the conception or design of the study, data collection and analysis, interpretation of results, or critical drafting and revision of the manuscript. All authors must approve the final version and agree to its submission. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all eligible authors are properly listed and that authorship order is agreed upon. Changes to authorship require written justification, consent from all authors, and editorial approval.
