Authorship policy
In the process of submitting a scientific article to the journal “FACE”, it is essential that authors meet certain contribution criteria to ensure integrity and ethics in the publication. The authors' contribution ensures that those listed as authors have actually participated significantly in the research and preparation of the article.

The following are the contribution criteria that authors must meet:

 

Conception and design of the work: Authors proposing a scientific article should have actively participated in the conception and design of the research. This includes the formulation of the research questions, the planning of the methodological approach, and the selection of appropriate analytical techniques.


Data acquisition and analysis: Authors must have been involved in the collection of data or acquisition of sources relevant to the study. In addition, they must have contributed to the analysis and interpretation of the data to obtain the results and conclusions presented in the article.
Drafting or critical revision of the article: Authors must have actively participated in the drafting of the article or in the critical revision of the content. This involves drafting or revising the text to ensure its clarity, coherence and scientific rigor.

Approval of the final version: All authors must have approved the final version of the article prior to its submission. Approval of the final version implies that the authors agree with the content, results and conclusions presented in the article.
It is important to note that each author's contribution must be substantial and significant to meet the authorship criteria. It is not sufficient for an author to have participated in only a small part of the work or to have provided general support for the study. All authors must have made a substantial intellectual contribution to the content of the article.

If an article is the result of collaboration among several authors, the responsibility and contribution of each author should be clearly defined. Authors should communicate and coordinate to ensure that all are aware of the information presented in the article and agree with the nomination.

Authors should be honest and transparent about their contribution to the article and should properly acknowledge the work of other researchers by adequately citing the sources used. Failure to comply with these criteria may lead to ethical problems and may jeopardize the credibility of the article and the authors themselves.
