Authorship
Each author should make substantial contributions to the conception or design of the article, including but not limited to the acquisition, analysis or interpretation of data, writing a manuscript or making substantive revisions to the manuscript. All authors need to review the final version of the manuscript before submission and should also comment on the final approval of the forthcoming version of the article.
Individuals who do not meet the above requirements but have made valuable contributions to the article can be listed in the Acknowledgments of the manuscript.
The author contributions should be stated in the cover letter or the article when submitting the manuscript.
Corresponding authors
The corresponding authors take primary responsibility for communication with the journal during the manuscript submission, peer review, and publication process, and ensure that all the journal’s requirements, such as providing details of authorship, ethics committee approval, clinical trial registration documentation, and gathering conflict of interest forms and statements, are properly satisfied.
Contributorship
GATE Press lists contributors in two ways: we publish a list of authors' names at the beginning of the paper; and we list contributors (some of whom may not be included as authors) at the end of the paper in Acknowledgments section.
Alteration to authorship or contributorship
Once the manuscript is submitted, it means that the authorship has been determined. If the authorship needs to be changed after submission, it must be approved by all authors. This applies to additions, deletions, change of order to the authors, or contributions being attributed differently. Any alterations must be explained to the editor. After the review of the editorial office, the corresponding modification will be made.
