Funding Statement

It is the responsibility of the authors to declare whether the research received funding and, if applicable, to indicate the funding source at the time of submission. This information will be recorded and published if the article is approved.

In line with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the transparent declaration of funding sources strengthens the integrity of published articles and promotes accountability regarding the use of granted resources. It enables readers to assess potential conflicts of interest related to funding and allows authors to demonstrate how such resources were applied. For funding agencies, transparent statements provide a means to monitor the outcomes of the research they supported and to ensure that resources granted contributed to producing relevant results.
