Conflict of Interest

A conflict of interest arises when individuals involved in the publishing process, such as authors, reviewers, or editors, have personal or financial interests that could potentially bias their judgments or decisions, thus undermining the integrity of the research. These interests can include financial ties, personal relationships, or affiliations that might influence the research, review, or editorial process.
