Submitting a manuscript to Current Clinical and Medical Education confirms that the work is original, has not been previously published, and is not under consideration elsewhere, except in abstract form (if applicable).
All submissions undergo thorough review to detect plagiarism, duplication, or data manipulation. Figures and images are closely inspected for authenticity and appropriate representation.
Authorship must be based on substantial contributions to the conception, design, execution, or analysis of the study. The criteria set by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) should be followed. Those who do not meet these criteria should be listed in the 'Acknowledgments' section.
