Authors are responsible for obtaining any permissions required for copyrighted third-party material included in their manuscripts.

Images, figures, tables, photographs, or other material credited to third parties may be subject to separate copyright or licensing terms. Such material is not automatically covered by the article's CC BY 4.0 licence when a different rights statement is indicated.

Published Version of Record

The formally published article on the SJORANM platform constitutes the journal's version of record. Citation of SJORANM publications should use the final published bibliographic information and DOI.

Supplementary formats such as audio, video, educational summaries, or social-media communication may support dissemination but do not replace the published scholarly article as the version of record.
