The order of authors must be agreed upon by all authors, taking their respective contributions into account.

AI Tools and Authorship Changes

Requests to add, remove, or reorder authors after submission must be sent to the editor with a clear explanation and written consent from all authors, including anyone being added or removed.

The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring all authors approve the manuscript, the author order, its submission, and any changes made during the editorial process.
