Authorship and Contributions

All authors listed in manuscripts submitted to this journal must confirm that they meet the authorship criteria established by disciplinary standards. It is also essential to ensure that no individual who should reasonably be recognized as an author has been omitted. For further details on the journal’s authorship policy, please refer to the publishing ethics section.

Author Affiliations

Author affiliations should accurately reflect the institution(s) where the research was conducted, supported, or approved. For non-research content, affiliations should correspond to the institution(s) with which each author is currently associated.

Funding Statement

If applicable, authors must provide a declaration of funding sources. The full official name of the funding organization and the corresponding grant numbers should be clearly stated.

Examples of supplementary materials include, but are not limited to, appendices, additional tables or figures, datasets, videos, and audio files.

ORCID Requirement

All authors are required to provide an ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript to this journal. ORCID assigns a unique identifier to researchers, integrating seamlessly with key research workflows such as manuscript submissions and grant applications. This offers several advantages:

  • Enhanced discoverability: ORCID improves the visibility of your publications by enabling smarter publisher systems and ensuring that readers can reliably find your authored work.
  • Increased convenience: As ORCID adoption grows across institutions and publishers, providing your ORCID iD streamlines registration processes, automatically linking activities to your ORCID record and eliminating the need to manually re-enter information across multiple platforms.
  • Efficient record-keeping: Your ORCID profile serves as a centralized repository for validated information about your research activities and institutional affiliations, which you can manage and share as needed.

If you do not yet have an ORCID iD, you will need to create one before submitting a manuscript to this journal. You can register for an ORCID iD directly through your ScholarOne user account or via https://ORCID.org/register.
