Authorship and Contributorship Policy

Enletawa considers any individual who has intellectually contributed to the preparation of a manuscript submitted to the journal as its author. In accordance with the COPE guidelines, to be considered an author, the following criteria should be met:

  1. Having participated in the idea and design, data acquisition, or the analysis and interpretation of the data obtained through the work that has resulted in the article;
  2. Having taken part in the drafting or critical revision of the text; and
  3. Having approved the final version to be published.

Enletawa accepts papers developed by a maximum of four authors. The names of these authors must be included in the article at the time of submitting the manuscript for the first time. When names of individuals who had minimal or no involvement in the research are included in a document and the names of those who actually participated in the research are omitted, the authorship information will be deemed to have been fabricated. The acknowledgment of the contribution of every participating subject in research is the author’s responsibility.

Author contributions

Enletawa adopts the CRediT taxonomy to describe each author’s individual contributions to the work. The corresponding author is responsible for providing details about the contributions made by each author of the article. The editorial team expects that all authors have reviewed, discussed, and accepted their individual contributions. Contributions will be published with the final article and should accurately reflect the real contributions to the paper.
