Conflicts of Interest Policy

All authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any relationships, activities, interests, or circumstances that could reasonably be perceived as influencing the objectivity of the research or editorial process.

Potential conflicts of interest may be financial, professional, institutional, academic, personal, or other in nature.

Authors must include a Conflict of Interest Statement in all manuscript submissions. If no conflicts exist, authors should state:

"The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest."

Reviewers must decline review assignments when conflicts could compromise their impartiality.

Editors handling a manuscript must recuse themselves from editorial decisions whenever a conflict of interest exists.

All disclosed conflicts will be evaluated by the editorial team and managed appropriately to ensure the integrity and fairness of the publication process.
