Our core practice regarding authorship rules originated from the ICMJE, which defines the Role of Authors and Contributors. Based on ICMJE, authorship criteria must match the below conditions:
In addition to being accountable for the parts of their work, an author should identify which co-authors are responsible for specific other work details. Also, the authors should have confidence in the integrity of the contributions of their co-authors. All those designated as authors should meet all four criteria for authorship, and all who meet the four criteria should be identified as authors. The acknowledgments section should list those who do not meet all four criteria. Participation solely in the acquisition of funding, data gathering, technical help, writing assistance, and general supervision of the research group does not warrant authorship. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged. Please guarantee that anyone stated in the Acknowledgements section has granted its clearance for permission to be listed.
A corresponding author is an individual who, when working on a paper with multiple authors, takes primary responsibility for communicating with the journal you intend to publish in. They contact the journal during the manuscript submission, peer review, and eventual publication process while ensuring all the journal's administrative requirements. The corresponding author usually makes themselves available to respond to editorial queries throughout the process. They should also be available after publication to respond to critiques of the work, and any questions that arise, and to cooperate with requests for additional data or information.
This corresponding author is:
An authorship statement is required for every manuscript submitted and should state who has contributed to the planning, conduct, and reporting of the work described in the article.
Please clarify and write who was responsible for:
Authors must write their names only with the first name and surname's first letter. To ensure that article referees or peer reviewers do not know your identity (as author[s] of the manuscript being reviewed), submitted files (i.e., Full Manuscript File; Reply to Reviewers, Appendices, Figures, Abstract) that reviewers can see, should not contain authors' names or affiliations.
Author Contributions: Study concept and design: F. M., and H. E.; analysis and interpretation of data: F. M., and S. B.; drafting of the manuscript: F. M.; critical revision of the manuscript for important intellectual content: F. M., H. E., and S. B.; statistical analysis: H. E.
Y. K. L. developed the original idea and the protocol, abstracted and analyzed data, wrote the manuscript, and is a guarantor. D. P. and S. D. contributed to the development of the protocol, abstracted data, and prepared the manuscript.
Y. K. L. conceived and designed the evaluation and drafted the manuscript. E. O. participated in designing the evaluation, performed parts of the statistical analysis, and helped to draft the manuscript. W. M. re-evaluated the clinical data, revised the manuscript and performed the statistical analysis and revised the manuscript. S. S. collected the clinical data, interpreted them, and revised the manuscript. Q. E. re-analyzed the clinical and statistical data and revised the manuscript. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.
Recognize individuals who assisted with the project. Report all grants and other support sources for the project or study, including funds from contributors, institutions, and commercial sources. Consultancies and funds paid directly to investigators must also be listed.
If the "corresponding author" requested introducing two first authors, Brieflands journals can provide you with "dual first authorship." It means that the two authors have contributed equally to a paper.
If you submit your article with dual first authorship, inform us by submitting a ticket via our support portal or tell us during your galley proof. Note that we can accept your request before final publishing, and we don't accept any request after publishing. After confirmation of your request, a footnote will be added to the author's name, and an explanation will be given.
Just before final publishing, we can add any dual first authorship. (#367518)
The mandate for a single corresponding author has been relaxed. If justified, two corresponding authors may be listed, with one author designated as the primary point of contact responsible for all communication about the manuscript and article. This person will be listed first in the corresponding author section of the published article.

Definition: The "collaborator authors" (or non-author contributors) are the contributors who do not meet full authorship criteria but should still be listed in an article as "collaborators".
"When submitting a manuscript authored by a group, the corresponding author should specify the group name if one exists, and clearly identify the group members who can take credit and responsibility for the work as authors. The byline of the article identifies who is directly responsible for the manuscript, and MEDLINE lists as authors whichever names appear on the byline. If the byline includes a group name, MEDLINE will list the names of individual group members who are authors or who are collaborators, sometimes called non-author contributors, if there is a note associated with the byline clearly stating that the individual names are elsewhere in the paper and whether those names are authors or collaborators."
