Author Contributions

In accordance with the authorship criteria of the ICMJE (https://blog.amwa.org/icmje-authorship-guidelines-and-acknowledging-non-author-contributions), authors are defined as those who have made substantial contributions to the manuscript by a) contributing to the conception, design, data collection or analysis, and interpretation of data, b) drafting the article or critically revising its intellectual content, and c) approving the final version for publication.

Each author’s contribution must be declared according to the CRediT taxonomy – http://credit.niso.org/
