Funding Disclosure

Authors are required to provide a formal statement identifying all sources of financial support, whether external or institutional, that contributed to the research and/or preparation of the manuscript.

The disclosure must clearly specify the role played by each funding source in the following aspects:

• The conceptualization and design of the research;
• Data collection, analysis, and interpretation;
• Preparation and writing of the manuscript;
• The decision to submit the research for publication.

Where financial sponsors have had no direct involvement in any of these activities, authors must explicitly declare this in their funding statement.
