Conflicts of interest policy

Conflict of Interest Policy

A conflict of interest arises when an author, reviewer, or editor has a personal, commercial, political, academic, or economic interest in having an article published, thereby favoring and promoting the manuscript at any stage prior to publication.

The journal's editorial committee encourages all authors and reviewers to ensure the absence of conflicts of interest throughout all phases of the editorial process and to report any anomalies that may be detected.
