Authorship and Contribution Policy

All persons included as authors of a manuscript submitted to Scientia Fungorum must have made significant contributions to the work and assume the corresponding responsibility for its content. To be recognized as an author, the following criteria must be met:

1.- Have participated in the writing of the manuscript or in the critical revision of its intellectual content.

2.- Have made substantial contributions to the conception or design of the study, or to the obtaining, analysis or interpretation of the data.

3.- Have reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript that will be submitted or published.

4.- Agree with the designation of the corresponding author and with the submission of the manuscript for evaluation and eventual publication.

Participation limited to obtaining funding, general supervision of the project, data collection or technical support, without a substantial intellectual contribution, does not by itself justify authorship of a manuscript.
