If no conflict exists, authors should state:

“The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest.”

2. Reviewers

Reviewers must disclose any potential conflict of interest before accepting a review assignment. Reviewers should decline to review a manuscript if their personal, professional, academic, or financial interests may affect their impartiality.

3. Editors

Editors must disclose any potential conflict of interest and should not participate in decisions involving manuscripts in which they have a personal, professional, financial, or academic interest. Such manuscripts should be assigned to another qualified editor.
