The Greenfort International Journal of Applied Medical Science has guidelines to manage conflicts of interest (COI) within its publication process, consistent with standard practices in scholarly publishing. Authors are expected to disclose any relationships, financial or otherwise, that could influence their research outcomes or interpretations. This transparency aims to prevent biases that might arise from personal or financial interests and ensures that readers can evaluate the impartiality of published research.
Additionally, the journal’s editorial board is responsible for evaluating COI disclosures from authors, reviewers, and editors to avoid any potential bias in manuscript handling. For reviewers, this might involve declining to review a manuscript if they have a personal or financial stake in the research. Editors are similarly held to ethical standards, with policies discouraging the handling of manuscripts where a COI might exist, such as involvement in related research or personal relationships with the authors.
These COI policies are part of a broader commitment by the Greenfort International Journal of Applied Medical Science to uphold integrity, with all participants in the publication process—authors, reviewers, and editors—held to high ethical standards.
