Important Points Before Submitting an article
Authors are advised to carefully review the following points prior to submitting their manuscript:
1. Institutional and Journal-Specific Requirements
Before submission, authors are strongly encouraged to familiarize themselves with the specific regulations of their affiliated institution or university regarding the order of authors' names, institutional affiliations, and the creation of a profile on the journal's submission system. Each institution maintains its own set of rules, and the journal adheres to its own editorial policies, which cannot be modified based on individual or institutional requests. Authors are therefore advised to reconcile these requirements before uploading their manuscript.
2. Accuracy of Submission Information
Authors must ensure that all fields in the submission process are completed accurately and in full. Prior to uploading the manuscript file, authors should verify the correct order, total number, and institutional affiliations of all listed authors. In the event of final acceptance, the journal assumes no responsibility for errors in author information that were present at the time of submission.
3. Ethical Disclosure Statements
In accordance with the requirements of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the policies of the journal, authors are required to provide concise, clear, one-sentence responses to the following items on the final page of their manuscript. Detailed explanations for each item are available on the journal's website under **Author Guidelines → Ethical Guidelines and Submission Requirements**. Authors must ensure that these responses are included at the end of the manuscript file prior to final submission.
Please note that the following statements are **mandatory** for all submissions:
• Data Availability Statement
• Conflict of Interest Statement
• Funding Statement
• Authors' Contributions
Additional ethical disclosure questions listed on the journal's website need only be addressed if they are applicable to the specific manuscript being submitted.
