Conflict of Interest

Conflict of interest (COI) exists when an individual’s personal interests compromise his or her judgement, decision, or actions.

Authors should disclose all financial/relevant interest that may have influenced the development of their manuscript.

Reviewers should disclose any conflict of interest and if necessary, decline the review of any manuscript they perceive to have a conflict of interest.

Editors should also decline from considering any manuscript that may have conflict of interest. Such manuscripts will be re-assigned to other editors.
