Conflict of Interest Policy

Conflicts of interest may be personal, commercial, political, academic or financial in nature. Conflicts of interest may occur when authors, reviewers or editors have interests that may influence the preparation or evaluation of manuscripts. When submitting a manuscript, authors are responsible for acknowledging and disclosing financial or other conflicts that may have influenced the work. If there is, even potentially, a conflict of interest, the author(s) must disclose it in a signed document attached to the submission platform. For further information, authors, editors and reviewers should see: Disclosure of Financial and Non-Financial Relationships and Activities, and Conflicts of Interest.
