Conflict of Interest Policy

iRASD Journal of Finance (iRASD-JOF) requires the disclosure of any financial or non-financial competing interests that could influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, the research, its interpretation, or the editorial and peer-review process.

Authors must disclose all relevant competing interests at the time of submission. These may include, but are not limited to, financial support, employment, consultancies, personal relationships, institutional affiliations, or other circumstances that could affect the objectivity of the work.

Reviewers and editors are also expected to disclose any competing interests that may affect their impartiality. Where a conflict of interest exists, the individual concerned should decline involvement in the review or editorial handling of the manuscript.

If a competing interest is identified after publication and is considered relevant to the interpretation or evaluation of the work, the journal may issue a correction, expression of concern, or other appropriate notice.
