     of the work of others should always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

    limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study.

Where there are others who have participated in a particular substantive aspect of the research project, they must be recognized or listed as contributors. Correspondence authors shall ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the paper and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have approved its submission for publication.
  5. Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest:
    All authors must disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflicts of interest that may be construed to affect the outcome or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.

    When an author finds significant errors or inaccuracies in his or her own published work, it is the author's obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

    If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript.

    Reviewers should identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the author.
