Conflict of Interest Policy

Transparency and Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest in Scientific Research:

The Journal strives to ensure that the results of published research are objective and free from external influence. Therefore, all authors are required to disclose any personal or financial relationships or interests that may affect the objectivity of the research or the interpretation of its findings.

A conflict of interest is defined as any connection that an author, reviewer, or member of the Editorial Board may have with individuals or organizations that could, or may appear to, influence the impartiality of scientific or editorial decisions. Disclosure of such relationships is considered part of transparent practices and does not necessarily imply unethical behavior.

Examples of conflicts of interest include employment, consultancy, share ownership, financial compensation, paid activities, or holding patents.

Disclosure Mechanism:

All authors are required to complete the official disclosure form and ensure the accuracy of the information provided. In addition, a statement must be included within the body of the manuscript indicating the presence or absence of any conflicts of interest for each author. This disclosure should be accessible to readers and not limited to the administrative form.
