Conflict-of-Interest Policy

To ensure objectivity and integrity, the journal takes the following measures:

• Editorial Recusal – An editor must step aside from handling a manuscript if any conflict exists with one or more of the authors. Likewise, reviewers must have no conflicts of interest with the researchers.
• Reviewer Independence – Reviewers are selected specifically to ensure that no conflict exists between them and the author(s), safeguarding impartiality and accuracy.
• Author Declaration – Authors are required to state explicitly that no conflicts of interest influence their submitted work.
