• Submitting the same manuscript to more than one publication concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
• Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported work.
• All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.
