Conflict of Interest

Introduction

To maintain the integrity and transparency of research, it is essential that authors disclose any potential conflicts of interest. These disclosures enable readers to assess the potential for bias in the research.

Disclosure Requirements

  • Financial Conflicts: Authors must disclose all financial support for the research and any financial relationships with entities that could be perceived to influence the work.

  • Non-Financial Conflicts: Authors should disclose any non-financial interests that might be perceived to influence the interpretation of results, including personal relationships, academic competition, or intellectual beliefs.

  • Institutional Conflicts: Any affiliations with institutions or organizations that might have an interest in the submitted work should be declared.

Statement in Manuscript

Authors must include a conflict of interest statement in their manuscript. If no conflicts exist, include a statement such as "The authors declare no conflicts of interest."

Review Process

Editors and reviewers are also required to disclose any conflicts of interest that might influence their impartiality.

Transparency

All disclosed conflicts of interest will be published alongside the article to maintain transparency.
