Authors and Academic Integrity

Authors are responsible for the originality of their manuscripts and the accuracy of the facts, data, arguments, conclusions, and sources they present. Plagiarism, self-plagiarism, fabricated or falsified data, duplicate or simultaneous publication, improper attribution of authorship, and citation manipulation are prohibited.

Authorship is limited to those who have made a substantial intellectual contribution to the research, preparation of the manuscript, or its substantive academic revision. Co-authors bear equal responsibility for the manuscript and its compliance with academic integrity requirements.

An artificial intelligence system cannot be named as an author or co-author. If artificial intelligence is used, the author remains fully responsible for the manuscript’s content and accuracy, the reliability and proper use of sources, and compliance with academic integrity requirements.
