Ethics Statement

Authors should carefully follow the JKMS manuscript template, which is available for download on the journal's website. Papers must include an abstract, keywords, and be structured clearly with an introduction, main body, and conclusions. All references must be complete and consistently formatted. Detailed instructions on figure quality, mathematical notation, and language editing are provided to assist authors in preparing their work for review.

Conflict of Interest Policy

All authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any financial, personal, or professional relationships that could be perceived as influencing their judgment or the work presented. A declared conflict of interest does not automatically preclude publication, but it ensures transparency and allows the editorial team to manage the review process appropriately. The corresponding author is responsible for collecting and disclosing conflicts from all co-authors.

Authorship Criteria

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant intellectual contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported research. All listed authors must approve the final version of the manuscript and agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work. The journal follows the ICMJE recommendations for authorship, and any changes to authorship after submission must be formally requested and justified.
