Authorship Criteria

Authorship Criteria

JPENSI is committed to maintaining transparency, accountability, and academic integrity in scholarly publishing. Authorship must reflect substantial intellectual contributions to the research and manuscript preparation.

All authors must contribute significantly to the research conception, design, data collection, analysis, or interpretation; participate in drafting or critically revising the manuscript; approve the final version; and accept accountability for the integrity of the published work.

The journal follows the authorship principles recommended by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Gift authorship, guest authorship, and ghost authorship are strictly prohibited. Any changes in authorship require approval from all affected authors and the editorial board.
