  • Ensure that all listed authors have approved the manuscript and agreed to its submission.
  • Disclose relevant prior publications, preprints, conference abstracts, datasets or closely related manuscripts where these could affect assessment of originality or overlap.
  • Prepare all required ethical, funding, conflict-of-interest, data-availability, authorship and Generative AI declarations.
