Conflict of Interests

Conflict of interest may exist when authors, reviews or editors have interests that can interfere with the elaboration or review of manuscripts. It may also be of personal, commercial, political, academic or financial nature.

When the authors submit a manuscript, they are responsible for recognizing and reporting financial or any other conflict that may have influenced their research. The authors must recognize in the manuscript all the financial support and other financial or personal connections regarding the research. The reviewer must report to the editors any conflict of interest that could influence his opinion on the manuscript, and, if necessary, declare himself not qualified to review the article. If the authors are not sure of what may constitute a potential conflict of interest, they must contact the editorial department of the Journal.
