Conflict of Interests Policy

All authors must provide a Declaration of Competing Interests. Each author is required to clearly state any potential conflicts of interest—financial, professional, or personal—that could influence the research or its interpretation. If no such conflicts exist, authors must explicitly declare this.

Example statement:

“The authors declare no competing interests.”

This declaration must be submitted for each contributing author, and the information provided in the submission system will be considered the official and final record when the work is published.
