Conflict of Interest Policy

Transparency is fundamental to the scientific process. VISIKES requires all parties involved in the publication process to disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

  • Authors: Must declare all relevant financial or non-financial, professional, or personal relationships that could be perceived as influencing their research or interpretation of data. This declaration must be included in the manuscript.
  • Reviewers: Must decline to review manuscripts where they have a conflict of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
  • Editors: Will recuse themselves from editorial decisions if they have conflicts of interest related to articles under consideration.
