Conflict of Interests Declaration

A conflict of interest arises when the judgment, decisions, or interpretations of the authors regarding the data and results of their research are influenced by factors other than the scientific objectives of the study. In other words, it occurs when the researcher’s primary concern, the objectivity or academic integrity of the work, is compromised by another interest, whether economic, professional, or personal.

Financial conflicts, such as employment within an organization related to the research topic, received fees, commercial relationships, patent ownership, or payments for lectures, are the most common and the most likely to undermine the credibility of the authors, the journal, and the editorial process. However, non-financial conflicts of interest may also arise from personal relationships, academic rivalries, ideological differences, or religious beliefs that could affect the professional evaluations of authors or editors.

All authors are required to disclose in writing any financial, professional, or other personal connections with public or private institutions or organizations that may influence their work in terms of its development, results, or interpretation. Similarly, they must reveal any potential non-financial conflicts, including but not limited to personal, academic, ideological, intellectual, political, or religious relationships. When submitting manuscripts, this information must be documented in the “Conflict of Interest” section of the editorial management system. Transparency in this declaration is of fundamental importance to the journal in order to maintain scientific integrity, objectivity, and trust in the publication process.

If no conflict of interest exists, authors must include the following statement at the end of their manuscript:
Declaration: The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest.
