Conflict of Interest Policy

Journal policies on conflicts of interest / competing interests are:

• The potential and relevant competing financial, personal, social or other interest of all author(s) that might be affected by publication of the results contained in the manuscript must be conveyed to the editor.
• Author(s) should disclose any potential conflict of interest at the earliest possible stage, including but not limited to employment, consultancies, honorarium, patent applications/registrations, grants or other funding.
• All sources of financial support for the project (if any) will be disclosed alongside a brief overview of the role played by the responses during the various stages of research.
