All authors listed on a manuscript must satisfy the following four conditions:

Substantial Contribution: Each author should have made significant contributions to the conception or design of the study, or to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data.

Manuscript Development: Authors must participate in drafting the manuscript or critically revising it to enhance its intellectual content.

Final Approval: All authors are required to review and approve the final version of the manuscript before submission for publication.

Accountability: Authors must agree to take responsibility for all aspects of the work, ensuring that any concerns related to accuracy or integrity are addressed appropriately.
Only individuals who meet all four criteria should be listed as authors. Those who contribute to the work but do not meet the authorship criteria, such as by providing administrative support or technical assistance, should be mentioned in the acknowledgments section.

The corresponding author assumes primary responsibility for communication with the journal throughout the submission, peer review, and publication processes. This role involves ensuring the timely and accurate submission of essential documents, including authorship details, ethical approval certificates, clinical trial registrations, and conflict-of-interest disclosures. While these tasks can be delegated, the corresponding author must oversee and verify their completion.

During peer review, the corresponding author must remain accessible to address editorial inquiries and provide additional information when requested. Following publication, they are expected to respond to critiques, supply data if needed, and collaborate with the journal on any post-publication issues.

All authors are required to sign the author information and copyright agreement form, which is mandatory for submission. Additionally, each author must register and log in to the journal's online submission system using their unique ORCID ID to facilitate communication and ensure transparency.

For collaborative projects involving multiple authors, it is essential to define authorship roles and responsibilities before starting the research. Every contributor listed as an author must meet the criteria for authorship and agree to assume public responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the work. The corresponding author is responsible for collecting completed author information and copyright agreement forms from all contributors during the submission process.

In large-scale collaborative studies, authorship may be attributed to a group. In such cases, the corresponding author must provide a list of individuals who meet the authorship criteria. The group name should be clearly mentioned in the manuscript, and each contributor’s role must be detailed in supplementary documentation.

Requests to modify authorship such as changes to the order of authors, or the addition or removal of contributors may be made during the peer review process or between the manuscript’s acceptance and publication. These requests must meet the following requirements:
• A detailed justification for the proposed change must be submitted.
• A signed declaration confirming unanimous agreement among all contributing authors, including those being added or removed, is mandatory.
• No changes to authorship will be allowed after publication.

All authorship modification requests must be submitted in writing to the Editor or Publisher through the contact information provided on the journal’s website. The final decision regarding authorship changes rests solely with the Editor.

Authorship criteria and contributions were guided by International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) recommendations.

Authorship Responsibilities

Confidentiality
The author-editor relationship is founded on confidentiality. Authors should hold all communication between themselves and the journal in confidence.

Originality
The authors should provide a statement attesting to the originality of the study they have submitted for consideration.

Disclosures
Authors have a responsibility to be forthright when complying with journal submission requirements. This entails disclosure about the originality of the content, a statement of an author’s actual contribution to the study, and financial and conflict of interest disclosures. The New Journal of Urology requires statements on the regulatory status of any drugs or devices used in the study. Please check it out at https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/newurology/writing-rules

Copyright Assignment
The content in question must be original and not otherwise under copyright elsewhere (in whole or in part). Authors should ensure that the study under consideration is original and does not contain plagiarized content. In addition, authors must avoid duplicate publication, which is reproducing verbatim content from their other publications.

Permissions
Authors frequently wish to reuse previously published images and other copyrighted material. It is the author’s responsibility to follow journal or publisher guidelines to reuse any copyrighted material and provide proper attribution. This includes the author’s own work if the copyright was ever transferred to a publisher or journal. Authors should contact the journal or publisher of the source material or consult the “permissions” information that can be found on many of their websites. Permission should be granted in writing and the authors should retain this documentation. The editor may request a copy of this notification as well.

Multiple Submissions
In the biomedical sciences, it is not acceptable for authors to submit the report of a study to several journals at the same time, including a manuscript undergoing peer review that has not been formally rejected by the original journal to which the manuscript was submitted. Authors who do not follow this standard may find that editors reject their papers as a violation of policy. In addition, this practice can be a violation of copyright.

If authors want to submit their article to another journal while it is under consideration elsewhere, then they must send a formal notification to the editor of the journal in which it is under consideration, requesting that their study be withdrawn from further consideration. All co-authors must agree to the request for withdrawal and this agreement must be made clear to the editor of the journal with which the study is under consideration. Authors should request formal acknowledgment from the journal to the effect that the editors understand the manuscript has been withdrawn from future consideration. On receipt of notification from the journal acknowledging the withdrawal, the authors may submit their manuscripts elsewhere. They should retain a copy of the notification.

Data Sharing
Data sharing is the practice of making data used for scholarly research available to other investigators. The goal of this policy is to promote reproducibility and availability of underlying data sets. Authors should be aware of their data-sharing responsibilities imposed by their funding agencies.

Human Subjects Research
All journals should require formal affirmation that human subject’s research on which a submission is based was approved by an institutional review board or complied with the Declaration of Helsinki. Although some institutional review boards may consider certain types of studies, such as case reports, to be exempt from their approval, an institutional review board review may still be necessary to make that determination.

Journal editors may request a copy of the institutional review board determination letter during manuscript submission. Additionally, authors should obtain written informed consent from the subjects of case reports and written permission to use any identifiable images.

Animal Research
The New Journal of Urology requires formal affirmation that any research involving animals was approved by an animal care and use committee and was conducted according to the approved protocol and acceptable research standards for animal experimentation.
