Criteria of copyright, forms of participation and authorship
Each author has to take part in the work to take responsibility for the relevant parts of the content of the article. One or more authors should be responsible generally for the material submitted for publication - from the time of submission to the published article. Authoritarian credit should be based on the following:
significance of a part of the contribution into the concept and design, receiving data or analysis and interpretation of research results;
writing the article or critical consideration of importance for its intellectual content;
the final confirmation of the article version for publication.
The authors should also confirm that the manuscript is an original work and that neither this manuscript nor the one that has essentially similar content under their authorship has been published or is being considered for publication elsewhere.
Authors of manuscripts reporting baseline data or systematic reviews should provide access to the data application from at least from one responsible author, often the main author. If required, authors should be prepared to provide data and should be prepared to cooperate fully in obtaining and submitting data, on the basis of which the manuscript is evaluated and reviewed by the editor / members of the editorial board of the journal.
The role of a responsible author.
The main author (or the designated responsible author) will act on behalf of all the co-authors of the article as the main correspondent when communicating with the editorial staff during the process of its presentation and consideration. If the manuscript is accepted, the responsible author will review the edited typewritten text and comments of the reviewers, make a final decision regarding the correction and the possibility of publishing the manuscript in mass media, federal agencies and databases. He will also be identified as the responsible author in the published article. The responsible author is responsible for confirming the final version of the manuscript. The responsible author is also responsible for ensuring that information on conflicts of interest is accurate, up-to-date and consistent with the data provided by each co-author. The responsible author must sign a form of authorship confirming that all persons who have made a significant contribution have been identified as authors and that written permission has been received from each author for the publication of the submitted manuscript.
