□ Justification to list someone with personal connections as an author
※ Specify ways that someone with a personal connection contributed to the research
□ Specify the contributions by research stage (summarize)
| Type | Planning Research (Research Design, Conceptualization) |

Writing Manuscripts (Writing a significant part of the paper/ Making critical revisions) |
Confirming the Final Manuscript |
| Author A | ||||
| Author B | ||||
| People w/ Personal connections |
※ Caution: List only individuals who qualify as legitimate authors. Specifically, not all participating investigators involved in research will necessarily meet the criteria for authorship.
□ Contribution rate and confirmation by authors <agreed among authors>
| Type | Planning Research | Conducting Research | Writing Manuscripts | Confirming the Final Manuscripts | Total contribution Rate | Signature for Confirmation |
| Author A | ( )% | ( )% | ( )% | ( )% | ( )% | |
| Author B | ( )% | ( )% | ( )% | ( )% | ( )% | |

□ Research Ethics Confirmation
| Items | Examples |
| Prevention of change and addition of authors | All of the authors jointly confirm the level of authorship: agree that author A is the lead author and authors B and C (someone with personal connections) are co-authors according to the authors’ contribution rates. |
| Prevention of plagiarism and redundant publication | Table and figures are written by author B. Author C confirms the novelty of the research by submitting the paper to an online plagiarism check. No plagiarism of any sentences or paragraphs is detected. (Any previous research used is properly credited.) |
| Prevention of plagiarism by using translations | The title of the paper, keywords, independent variables, hypotheses, and originality of the research model are confirmed. The Korean and English abstracts are written based on research results. No plagiarism found after the original Korean version is submitted to an online plagiarism test. |
| Prevention of research misconducts | The original data used for empirical analysis are well recorded. The sources of tables and figures are indicated. |
| Prevention of plagiarism by using salami/ segmented publication | The most similar previous research is ( ). The presentation of the idea is by author A and author C supplemented the findings. |

| Standards for Determining Substantial Contributions as a Co-author (example) |
- 1. Did they present the original ideas in the research?
- 2. Did they design the research?
- 3. Did they understand the research plan and gather the data, interpret and analyze the data, and contribute to the research as an author?
- 4. Did they record data that they produced or write a manuscript by analyzing and interpreting data? Also, were their contributions included in the final version?
- 5. Did they make significant intellectual contributions (comments, revisions or supplements) to the draft?
