All authors must confirm their authorship, approve the manuscript submission, and agree to be accountable for the published content.

Author Identification

The corresponding author is encouraged to provide a persistent researcher identifier, such as an ORCID iD or Google Scholar Profile, to improve author identification and transparency.

Author Contributions

The corresponding author must clearly describe the contribution of each author at the time of submission. Contributions may include conceptualization, methodology, investigation, data curation, software, formal analysis, validation, visualization, funding acquisition, project administration, supervision, writing (original draft), and writing (review & editing). These contributions will be published with the final article.
