The corresponding author should ensure that all authors have approved the submitted manuscript and that the information provided to the journal is complete and accurate.

Changes in Authorship

Any request to add, remove or change the order of authors after submission should be communicated to the editorial team with a clear explanation and the agreement of all affected authors.

The journal may request written confirmation from all authors before approving a change in authorship.
