authored book.

Acknowledgments*

This is an optional section where authors can acknowledge people and/or institutions that provided non-financial support and/or helped with
the research and/or preparation of the manuscript. Examples of non-financial support include externally-supplied equipment/biological sources,
writing assistance, administrative support, and contributions from non-authors.

Funding*

Author contributions*
*This should be included in the title page and back matter file
This section should be included in original research articles, review articles and case reports. In Global Translational Medicine, we encourage
authors to use Contributor Roles Taxonomy (CRediT) in describing each contributor’s specific contribution to the scholarly output in the
Author Contributions section.
Definitions of each contributor role as per CRediT are as follows:

Contributor role Definition
Conceptualization Ideas; formulation or evolution of overarching research goals and aims.
Data curation Management activities to annotate (produce metadata), scrub data and maintain research data (including
software code, where it is necessary for interpreting the data itself) for initial use and later re-use.
Formal analysis Application of statistical, mathematical, computational, or other formal techniques to analyze or
synthesize study data.
