Authorship Criteria

Authors listed in a manuscript must have made substantial contributions to the conception or design of the study, data collection, analysis, interpretation, or preparation of the manuscript. All authors must approve the final version and agree to be accountable for the integrity of the work. Individuals who do not meet the authorship criteria should be acknowledged appropriately rather than listed as authors. The corresponding author is responsible for confirming that all co-authors have approved the manuscript and agreed to its submission.
