Conflicts of Interest

All authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers must disclose any conflicts of interest that could influence their work or decisions. These may include financial interests, personal relationships, professional connections, or other competing interests.

Editors and reviewers who have a conflict of interest must withdraw from handling or reviewing the manuscript.

Editorial decisions are based on the quality and scientific merit of the manuscript, not on publication fees, personal relationships, or financial interests.

Authors must clearly declare any conflicts of interest in their manuscripts. If there are no conflicts, they should include the following statement:

"The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest."
