Authorship Principles

Although the inclusion of all potential contributors to any stage of the study and article preparation is encouraged by Green Publishers, all authorship issues are out of its domain of responsibilities, be it the inclusion or order of their names. These should always be solved among the authors themselves and Green Publishers bears no responsibility for any aspect of it. A corresponding author should always be mentioned in the authors’ list while an acknowledgement statement for contributors other than the co-authors may also be added at the end of the submitted manuscript.  

CORRESPONDING AUTHORSHIP: Whether a manuscript is submitted by a single author or by a group of co-authors, a corresponding author is mandatory whose name should be clearly mentioned by means of an asterisk sign following the name, with whom all communications related to the manuscript publication process may be carried out and to whom any query about the published article may be sent. The corresponding author also takes responsibility of ensuring the agreement of all co-authors to the inclusion of their names in the manuscript; order of their listed names in the submitted article; content of the article; its submission to the specific journal for publication and to the finally revised version of the article.
