• The corresponding author assumes complete responsibility for the manuscript warranting that the article is an original work, has not been published before and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. They are also responsible for managing communications between E-JournALL and all co-authors, before and after publication, and ensuring that inquiries are answered on behalf of all the co-authors in a timely fashion.

• After acceptance, final proofs will be sent to the corresponding author at the e-mail address provided. They will correspond with E-JournALL on behalf of all co-authors. After publication, E-JournALL will not necessarily correct errors if they were present on the proof that was shown to the co-authors before publication, and were not indicated by the authors as errors to be corrected. The corresponding author is responsible for making sure that all names of co-authors are included in the final article, correctly spelled, and that affiliations are rightly attributed and current.
