Authorship policy

Those that meet the 4 criteria recommended by the ICMJE appear in this section (http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/roles-and-responsibilities/defining-the-role-of-authors-and-contributors. html).

The order of appearance of the authors is the decision of the authorship team, however a corresponding author must be identified, who will assume responsibility for communication with the Editorial Committee of the journal, and must be available throughout the editorial process.

The full names and surnames of all authors must appear (avoid initials). Declare professional title, scientific degrees, academic degrees, teaching and/or research categories, as appropriate. Declare the full name of the institutional affiliation(s) of each of the authors.

Declare the ORCID of each of the authors as a mandatory requirement.

Each article must be accompanied by a signed letter expressing the authorship contribution of each of the authors, which must conform to the CRedit contributor role taxonomy, available at: https://casrai.org/credit/. The authorship roles will be identified in the following order, including each author where it corresponds and omitting those that do not apply in each case:

Conceptualization: Ideas, formulation or evolution of the general objectives and goals of the research.

Data curation: Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), cleanse data, and maintain research data (including programming code, if necessary, for interpretation of the data itself) both for initial use as for later reuse.
