Financial, institutional, collaborative, or personal relationships that could influence judgment should be disclosed openly by authors, reviewers, and editors.
Author disclosures
Authors should disclose funding, consulting roles, equity interests, patent interests, paid advisory work, or other relationships that could reasonably be perceived as influencing the manuscript. Disclosure does not necessarily preclude publication, but non-disclosure can undermine trust. Declarations should be complete at submission and updated if circumstances change.
Reviewer and editor conflicts
Reviewers and editors must recuse themselves where competitive, collaborative, supervisory, financial, or personal relationships could compromise impartial handling. Editorial offices should reassign manuscripts promptly when conflicts are identified. Perceived conflicts matter as well as actual ones.
Transparency and recordkeeping
Conflict statements should be stored as part of the manuscript record and reflected in published declarations when required by the journal. Clear documentation supports accountability and consistent decision-making across the workflow. Where no conflicts exist, that absence should also be stated explicitly.
