Authors’ contribution: In this section, you have to provide the contributor role of each author on these divisions: Conceptualization, designing the Methodology, Validating study tools and instruments, Formal Analysis, Investigation, Resources, Data Curation, Writing the paper (Original draft preparation or Revising the original draft), Supervision, Project Administration, Funding Acquisition.
Acknowledgement: All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be covered in the acknowledgement section. It should include persons who provided technical help, writing assistance and departmental head that only provided general support. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged.
