Authorship of manuscripts submitted to the journal must be limited to individuals who have made significant intellectual or practical contributions to the work. To be listed as an author, one must have participated meaningfully in the conception, design, execution, interpretation, or drafting of the study.

Authorship Criteria
All individuals who meet the following criteria should be included as co-authors:

• Substantial contributions to the research concept, design, data acquisition, analysis, or interpretation.

• Participation in drafting or critically revising the manuscript.

• Approval of the final version to be published.

Acknowledgements
Individuals who have provided support, such as technical assistance, material resources, or general guidance, without contributing intellectually to the research itself should be acknowledged in a separate Acknowledgements section, rather than listed as authors.

Corresponding Author
One author must be designated as the corresponding author, responsible for:

• All communication with the journal throughout the submission and review process.

• Ensuring all authors have reviewed and approved the final manuscript.

• Approving the final version for publication in the journal.

This policy ensures that credit is attributed fairly and that accountability for the published work is clearly established.
