Conflict of Interest Policy

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and transparency in scholarly publishing. We realize that conflicts of interest (COI) can compromise the objectivity and impartiality of the research and publication processes. Therefore, we have established the following policy to address conflicts of interest among authors, reviewers, editors, and other stakeholders involved in our publication process:

Authors
Authors submitting manuscripts to our journal must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could influence the conduct or reporting of their research. This includes financial interests, affiliations, relationships, or other circumstances that may be perceived as influencing their work. 

Reviewers
Reviewers participating in the peer review process for manuscripts submitted to our journal are expected to declare any conflicts of interest that may affect their ability to provide impartial and unbiased evaluations. Reviewers should refrain from reviewing manuscripts if they have a personal, professional, or financial interest in the research or its outcomes.

Editors
Our journal editors and editorial board members must disclose any conflicts of interest related to manuscripts under consideration. Editors should refrain from handling manuscripts if they have a conflict of interest or cannot provide an impartial evaluation. Decisions regarding manuscript handling and publication will be made with transparency and integrity, considering potential conflicts of interest among editorial staff.

Transparency and Disclosure
We are committed to transparency and disclosure of conflicts of interest. All relevant conflicts of interest disclosed by authors, reviewers, and editors will be published alongside the manuscript or disclosed in editorial materials, as appropriate. Conflicts of interest will be managed under established policies and guidelines to ensure the integrity and fairness of the publication process.
