Conflict of Interest Policy

The editorial committee is responsible for avoiding any conflict of interest in the research publications that may affect the reviewers' interpretation of results and assessment. In case of any potential conflict of interest, the author (s) shall provide a clear statement about bearing the responsibility. They shall disclose the possible conflicts of interest that can influence the decision about the publication of the manuscript.      

The editorial board will not consider manuscripts for review if competing interests arise from the collaborative or competitive connections of any author (s) or relevant institutions. It is desired that all contributors shall disclose conflicting interests while submitting the manuscript. If there is any such revelation after the research is published, corrections or expressions of interest and retraction will be issued where needed.
