During the article submission process, authors are required to upload documents pertaining to ethics committee approval, conflict of interest disclosure, and plagiarism screening. For manuscripts that do not require ethics committee approval, a document stating this (e.g., This study does not require ethics committee approval) must be uploaded.

Conflict of interest and author contribution statements are mandatory for co-authored manuscripts or those derived from theses. These documents must clearly indicate each author's contribution rate, disclose any potential conflicts of interest, and be signed before submission.

For manuscripts that do not fall into these categories, a document stating that no conflict of interest or author contribution disclosure is required must be uploaded in this section.

Plagiarism screening should be conducted using programs such as Turnitin or iThenticate, and the similarity index must not exceed 15%. The plagiarism report must be uploaded accordingly.
