All cooperation decisions are entirely under the authority of the Editorial Board, based on assessments of vision alignment and academic quality, without interference from external parties. The core principle affirmed is that any form of cooperation will not influence the peer-review process or editorial decisions, thereby preserving the purity and objectivity of manuscript evaluation. Cooperative materials will be placed separately from scholarly article content, clearly distinguished, and only included in designated special sections.
