Every publication must identify who wrote it, who reviewed it and which institution is accountable for its release.
Names are evidence, not decoration.
SNN bylines distinguish personal authorship from institutional editing. A contributor is credited only for work they actually produced or materially shaped.
Each article record may include Author, Corresponding Author, Publisher, Institutional Operator, publication date, version, DOI or ORCID where applicable, place of publication, rights statement and keywords.
Source institutions are never listed as authors merely because their documents are cited. Editorial review also does not transfer authorship to an institution or reviewer.

Source reviewer
Verifies primary records, versions, dates, quotations and figure provenance.
Responsible editor
Tests structure, relevance, disclosure, labels and publication readiness.
Publisher
Maintains the controlled public version, correction history and archive state.
What every contributor must disclose.
Contributor access is conditional on evidence quality, transparent interests and acceptance of the correction record.

- Any organizational mandate that could shape the publication’s position.
- The origin and permitted use of datasets, figures, documents and media.
- Material use of automated tools in research, translation or drafting.
