Authorship & Contributorship Policy

Each person listed as an author on a Ferrotech Engineering Press article must meet all of the following:

1. Substantial contribution to the conception or design of the work, or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data;
2. Drafting the work or critically revising it for important intellectual content;
3. Final approval of the version to be published; and
4. Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work.

People who contributed but do not meet all four criteria should be named in the Acknowledgements. We encourage authors to describe individual contributions using the CRediT taxonomy. Changes to the author list after submission require the written agreement of all authors.
