It is of utmost importance that authors remain cognizant of the likelihood of a Conflict of Interest arising. Nonetheless, if said conflict does occur, authors must still take full responsibility for ensuring the accuracy of their paper. It is, however, essential that authors provide the readership with an appropriate statement in the Acknowledgements section of the paper, disclosing the presence of any potential Conflict of Interest.

• Financial concerns refer to any funding, payments, goods or services received or anticipated by the authors, which are related to the subject of the work or are from an organization that has a vested interest in the outcome of the research.
• Affiliations include individuals employed by or serving on an advisory board of an organization that holds an interest in the outcome of the work.
• Intellectual property refers to patents or trademarks that are owned by the author, their organization or a third party.
• Personal factors involve connections such as friends, family, or other close personal relationships that have the potential to influence the outcome of the work.
• Ideological factors relate to personal beliefs or activism (such as political or religious) that are pertinent to the work.
• Academic considerations comprise competitors or researchers whose work is being critiqued as part of the work.

Declared conflicts of interest will be considered by the editor and reviewers and included in the published article.
