Conflict of Interests
A conflict of interest is understood as any financial, employment-related, familial, institutional, political, religious belief, or academic affiliation of the author that could unduly influence their manuscript. If an author believes there may be a conflict of interest, they must disclose it transparently. For any inquiries an investigator may have about this or other matters, they can reach out to the editorial authorities of the journal, mentioned at the end of the call for submissions, or consult the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
At the end of each research article, the author must provide a note, following the references section, stating that the article does not have any conflict of interest with any institution or the institution they are affiliated with. Additionally, if necessary, they should specify whether the organization they work for wishes to express that the content of the manuscript does not represent the position of that institution.
The evaluation of all manuscripts is carried out through the "double-blind" review process, aiming to maintain the anonymity of both the author and the evaluator. This prevents conflicts of interest and ensures an impartial review of the manuscripts.
The journal takes the responsibility of verifying that the articles submitted account for genuinely conducted research very seriously. In cases where data falsification is identified, the article will be rejected.
If a conflict of interest is identified that has not been explicitly declared by the author, the journal reserves the right to not publish the article.
