Authors' Duties And Responsibilities

Authorship should be limited to those who have made significant contributions to the concept, design, execution or interpretation of the work. All significant contributors should be listed as co-authors. If there are minor contributors to the work, such as language editing, these should be noted in the acknowledgments section. The corresponding author should ensure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final manuscript and agree to submit it for publication. Authors are expected to carefully review the list and order of authors before submitting their manuscript, and to provide the definitive list of authors at the time of original submission. The editor will only consider adding, deleting or rearranging authors after the article is submitted in exceptional cases. All authors must agree to any such addition, deletion or rearrangement. Authors take joint responsibility for the study.

 

Author Change Requests

Adding, deleting or rearranging the names of the authors in the list of authors can only be done before the article is accepted and only if approved by the journal Editor. If such a change is requested, the Editor requests from the responsible author (a) the reason for the change in the list of authors and (b) written confirmation (e-mail) from all authors that they agree to add it. The editor will only consider adding, deleting or rearranging authors after the article has been accepted, in exceptional circumstances.

Authors of original research papers should address the topic in an authentic way and with an objective discussion. The article should contain sufficient detail and references to allow others to repeat the work. Fraudulent or knowingly false statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
