Manuscript Participation, Authorship, and Contribution Policy
ResearchCenter manuscript projects are collaborative research activities. Members who express interest in joining a manuscript must provide accurate personal, affiliation, ORCID, and contribution information.
Participation in a manuscript workflow does not automatically guarantee authorship, author order, journal acceptance, or publication. Authorship is determined based on meaningful intellectual contribution, manuscript participation, review of the final version, approval of the final manuscript, and accountability for the work.
Where a member's contribution does not meet the required authorship standard, ResearchCenter may recognize the member through acknowledgment, contributor records, or internal participation records where appropriate.
Some manuscript collaboration workflows may involve research coordination, administrative, or publication-readiness support processes. Where applicable, details will be communicated directly after a member submits an expression of interest for a specific research project.
