Conflict of Interest
Conflict of Interest Policy
To ensure the objectivity and integrity of the publication process, all involved parties are required to declare whether or not a conflict of interest exists:
- Authors: Must disclose any financial, personal, or institutional affiliations that could influence the research results or the interpretation of data in the manuscript.
- Reviewers: Must decline an invitation to review if they have a conflict of interest (such as a personal relationship, research collaboration, or professional rivalry) with any of the authors.
- Editors: Must recuse themselves from editorial decision-making if they have a conflict of interest regarding the manuscript under their consideration.
