Conflict of Interest Policy

Conflict of Interest and Disclosure Policy

Transparency and integrity are key principles of IJHSLR.
All authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any financial or personal relationships that could influence the work.

Conflict of Interest Declarations

1. Authors must declare conflicts such as funding, consultancy, stock ownership, or affiliations that may bias their research.
2. Reviewers must recuse themselves from manuscripts where a conflict exists.
3. Editors ensure impartial handling of all submissions.
4. If no conflicts exist, authors should state:
“The authors declare that there is no conflict of interest regarding the publication of this paper.”
