Authorship means substantial contribution for the described research or overall intellectual planning and guidance of the work.
Side collaborators must be cited as such, not as authors. Ghost, gift or guest authors are not permitted and may lead to refusal or retraction of the paper when uncovered.

The Open Science Repository does not publish research using oppressed laboratory animals, nor any research that causes animal suffering or death (even if the research is compliant with recognized guidelines on the issue). This is a free choice of the publisher to help foster alternatives to the use of laboratory animals in science.
