Abstract

1. Conflict of Interest: There is a time when the author (or institution of the author), reviewer or editor has financial or personal relationships that have an inappropriate influence on his or her actions (such relationships, also known as double obligations, competing interests, or competing devotion). These relationships ra Conflict of Interest nge from a small to a large influence on the decision. Not all relationships represent a real conflict of interest. On the other hand, the possibility of a conflict of interest can exist regardless of whether a person believes that the relationship affects his or her scientific judgment. Financial relationships (such as employment, counseling, stock ownership, fees, and work as an expert) are one of the most easily identifiable types of conflict of interest and can greatly undermine the credibility of the journal, the authors, and the science itself. However, conflicts may arise from other causes, such as personal relationships, academic competitions, and intellectual passions. The term "competing interest" should be considered synonymous with a conflict of interest.
