Authorship Policy

The author is responsible for the integrity of the work submitted for publication in the journal. The journal requires a written declaration to be signed by the researcher(s), stating that the manuscript is not derived from another published study or academic thesis. The author(s) bear full legal and ethical responsibility in the event of any violation of this statement.

In the case of multiple contributors, the authorship of the manuscript must be limited to those who have made significant intellectual contributions to the submitted research, including study design, execution, interpretation of results, 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 should be acknowledged only in the Acknowledgements section.

One author 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 Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All listed authors must have made clear contributions to the intellectual and/or practical aspects of the article, including study design, data collection, data analysis, drafting the manuscript, or substantial revision. The addition of authors who did not actively contribute to the research is not permitted, and the order of authorship must be agreed upon by all authors prior to submission.
