All listed authors must approve the final version of the manuscript and agree to its submission to Regula Fidei Journal. Each author is responsible for the accuracy, originality, and integrity of their own contribution.

3. Responsibilities of the Corresponding Author

The corresponding author is responsible for communicating with the editorial team and ensuring that all authors have approved the submitted manuscript.

4. Acknowledgment of Contributions

Individuals who contribute to the research but do not meet the authorship criteria may be appropriately acknowledged in the manuscript.
