Authorship Guidelines:

Authorship credit ensures appropriate recognition and accountability in scholarly work. Authors listed on a manuscript must:

• Contribute significantly to the research (design, data collection, analysis, or interpretation).

• Draft, revise, or critically review the manuscript.

• Agree on the target journal and all versions of the manuscript, including during submission, revision, and proofing.

• Accept responsibility for the entire content and collaborate in resolving any integrity-related concerns.

Authorship decisions (including listing and order) are the shared responsibility of all contributors. The editor does not resolve authorship disputes—such issues are referred to the institutions involved.

The guidance also covers:

• Role of corresponding authors

• Authorship changes

• Use of professional writing or translation assistance

• Proper acknowledgment of AI tools

Citation Guidelines:

All research and non-research articles must include relevant, timely, and verified references (preferably peer-reviewed) to support claims made in the manuscript.
