Authors confirm that their submitted work is original, that they hold the necessary rights to all included content, and that the work does not infringe upon the copyright or proprietary rights of any third party. If copyrighted material such as images, figures, or large text excerpts is used, authors are responsible for obtaining proper permissions and providing appropriate acknowledgments.
