Conflict of Interest/Commitment

Reporting conflicts of interest and commitment is vital for maintaining the integrity and transparency of academic research. It ensures that decisions are made based on objective criteria rather than personal gain, thereby fostering trust among colleagues, stakeholders, and the public. By disclosing potential conflicts, individuals help prevent unethical behavior and safeguard the credibility of their work and institutions. This practice also aligns with regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of legal repercussions and promoting a culture of accountability. Ultimately, transparent reporting of conflicts supports a fair and equitable environment where everyone can contribute to their fullest potential.​
