Authorship

Definition of Authorship

The author is a researcher who has made a significant intellectual contribution to theoretical development, systematic or experimental design, prototype development and/or analysis and interpretation of data related to the work contained in the article; contributed to the development of the article and analyzed its content; approved the final version of the article (including links), ready for publication.

Participants who do not meet the above criteria cannot be listed as authors. Ignoring the author who contributed to your article or including a person who did not meet all of the above requirements is considered infringements of the publishing ethics.

Authorship of articles with few authors

If you are collaborating with other authors to publish an article, you will need to agree which author will be responsible for the correspondence. The responsible author in charge is the only point of contact between the authors and the publication in which the article is submitted. In addition to all the above criteria for authorship, the responsible author is responsible for:

• co-authorship - whether all persons are relevant and fulfil the requirements;
• agreement between all the co-authors that they are identified as the authors;
• approval of the final version of the article accepted for publication;
• notifying all co-authors of the current status of the article submitted for publication, including providing all co-authors with copies of the reviewers' comments and a copy of the published version if necessary.

Change authors. If changes are to be made between the submission of the manuscript and the publication of the manuscript, the author must contact the editor and state the reason for the change.

Funding for research or overseeing the group's work is not authorship.
