MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION
Submission of a manuscript implies that the work described has not been published before, and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Coauthor Guidelines
When an article is submitted, it is implied that publication has been approved by all coauthors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities—tacitly or explicitly—at the organization where the work has been done. The coauthors of a manuscript must be persons who have participated sufficiently in the work reported to take public responsibility and be accountable for appropriate portions of the content.
Any change to the author names listed in the original manuscript in a subsequent version of the manuscript, including additions, deletions, and/or a change in order of appearance, requires proof of agreement of all co-authors. Further, changes to the author list are not permitted after the manuscript has been accepted. Exceptional cases may be considered by the Editor. A change to the corresponding author can be made in a revised manuscript or accepted article with proof of agreement of only the new corresponding author.
Conflict of Interest
Authors must indicate whether they have a financial relationship with the organization that sponsored the research. This note should be added in a separate section before the reference list. If no conflict exists, authors should state as follows: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
Ethics
Originality of the manuscript submitted is the author’s responsibility, and authors must avoid duplicate submission, plagiarism, and self-plagiarism. All manuscript submissions will be screened against the CrossCheck database (powered by iThenticate). iThenticate is a plagiarism screening service that verifies the originality of content submitted. Authors may use iThenticate to screen their work before submission by visiting www.ithenticate.com.
English Language Support
For editors and reviewers to accurately assess the work presented in a manuscript, authors should ensure that the English language is of sufficient quality to be understood. If help is needed with writing in English, authors should consider obtaining assistance from a professional language editing service such as the following:

Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their manuscripts. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
