The list of authors should only include those individuals who have contributed intellectually to the development of the work.

In general, to be listed as an author, the following requirements must be met:
- Have participated in the conception and execution of the work that resulted in the article in question.
- Have participated in the writing of the text and in any revisions thereof.
- Have approved the version that will ultimately be published.
The Journal declines any responsibility for possible conflicts arising from the authorship of the works published.

Code of ethics
- Duties of authors
Originality and plagiarism: all articles must be original works of the authors and show no evidence of plagiarism.
Acknowledgment of sources: if authors have used the work and/or words of others, they must be properly cited.
Multiple, redundant, or concurrent publication: authors should not submit the same article to more than one journal at the same time.
Access and retention: If the Editor or members of the Editorial Board deem it appropriate, authors of articles should also make available the sources or data on which the research is based, which may be retained for a reasonable period of time after publication and possibly made accessible.
- Duties of the Editor
Publication decisions: The Editor is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the Journal should be published. The decision to publish should be guided by the policies of the Journal's Editorial Board and should be based solely on the academic merit and the decision of the reviewers.
Honesty: The Editor must evaluate articles on their intellectual merit without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.
Confidentiality: The Editor and any member of the editorial team must not disclose any information about the submitted article to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, editorial advisors, as appropriate.
- Duties of reviewers
Contribution to editorial decisions: Peer review assists editors in making editorial decisions.
Timeliness: Any reviewer selected who does not feel qualified or who knows that prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse themselves from the review process.
Confidentiality: Any article received for review must be treated as a confidential document. It must not be shown or discussed with others, except with the Editor's permission.
Standards of objectivity: Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their opinions clearly with arguments.
Acknowledgment of sources: Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any argument that has been previously reported should be accompanied by the corresponding citation. The reviewer should also bring to the Editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the article under consideration and any other published document of which they are personally aware.
