The Journal of Scientific Advances (JSA) recognizes authorship
as an important responsibility that reflects meaningful intellectual
contribution to scholarly work. Authorship should be assigned only to individuals
who have made significant contributions to the research process and who accept
responsibility for the published content.
All authors listed on a manuscript should have a clear understanding of their
contribution, approve the final version of the manuscript, and agree to be
accountable for the accuracy, integrity, and ethical standards of the submitted
research.
An individual should generally qualify for authorship by making substantial
contributions in one or more of the following areas:
Contribution to the conception, design, methodology, or development of the
research work.
Participation in data collection, experimentation, analysis, interpretation, or
evaluation of research findings.
Significant involvement in drafting the manuscript or critically revising it
for important intellectual content.
Approval of the final manuscript version submitted for publication.
Acceptance of responsibility for the research content and resolution of any
questions related to accuracy or integrity.
Individuals who provide general supervision, administrative support, technical
assistance, funding support, or routine assistance without substantial
intellectual contribution should not normally be listed as authors. Their
contributions may be acknowledged appropriately in the acknowledgment section
of the manuscript.
The corresponding author is responsible for maintaining communication with the
journal, ensuring that all authors approve the submission, managing authorship
information, and addressing editorial queries during the review and publication
process.
The journal expects authors to follow responsible authorship practices,
including:
Providing accurate author information during manuscript submission.
Avoiding honorary, guest, or gift authorship practices.
Ensuring that all contributors who meet authorship requirements are properly
recognized.
Obtaining agreement from all authors before submission and before any changes
in authorship after submission.
Declaring any disputes or concerns related to authorship in a transparent
manner.
The Journal of Scientific Advances promotes fair and transparent authorship
practices to protect the rights of contributors and maintain trust in scholarly
publishing. Any authorship-related concerns may be reviewed by the editorial
team according to established publication ethics procedures.
