The criteria for authoring the articles should follow the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors.html). Only those people who contributed directly to the intellectual content of the work should be listed as authors. Authors must satisfy all of the following criteria to be able to have public responsibility for the content of the work:

  1. Have conceived and planned the activities that led to the work or interpreted the results to which they arrived, or both;
  2. Have written the work or revised the successive versions and participated in the review process;
  3. Have approved the final version;
  4. Agree to be responsible for all aspects of the work and ensure that issues related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are properly investigated and resolved.

We consider the corresponding author to be the person who handles the manuscript and correspondence during the publication process. We request that the corresponding author confirm that he has the authority to act on behalf of all co-authors in all matters relating to the publication of the manuscript, including supplementary material. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining such agreements and informing co-authors of the manuscript's status during the submission, review and publication process. In addition, the corresponding author is the main contact for any questions (including those related to the work's integrity) after the publication of the article.

It is mandatory to include the ORCID ID for all authors (https://orcid.org/signin), and a letter must be attached to the system with the ORCID ID of all authors.

The Committee on Publication Ethics (Cope) also provides comprehensive resources on authorship and authorship disputes, and we recommend everyone involved in editorial decisions become familiar with these resources.

We have adopted initiatives that allow transparency in authorship and contribution, such as the CRediT taxonomy.

People who do not fulfill the requirements above and who had purely technical or general support participation can be cited in the Acknowledgments section.
