Conflicts of interests

 | Post date: 2023/08/14 | 
The transparency with which an author's relationships and activities, whether directly or indirectly related to work, are handled during the planning, implementation, writing, peer review, editing, and publication of scientific work affects the public's trust in the scientific process and the credibility of published articles.
Conflicts of interest and procedures for handling them, whether discovered before or after publication are clearly described for authors, reviewers, editors, journals, and publishers on the websites of journals as well as ASPI.
When professional judgment regarding a primary interest may be influenced by a secondary interest, the possibility of a conflict of interest and bias exists. Perceptions of such conflicts are as important as actual conflicts of interest. Readers must be able to decide for themselves whether an author's relationships and activities are relevant to the topic of the paper. Transparent disclosures are necessary for these judgments. Authors of ASPI journals are required to make a thorough disclosure to show their dedication to transparency and trust faith in the scientific method. ASPI editors pay close attention to the most obvious forms of conflict such as financial relationships, personal rivalries and friendships, academic competitions, and intellectual beliefs.
ASPI authors are not allowed to make an agreement with study sponsors, both for-profit and nonprofit, that interfere with authors' access to all of the study's data or that interfere with their ability to analyze and interpret the data and to prepare and publish manuscripts independently when and where they choose. This academic freedom principle is violated by rules that specify where authors may publish their work. An agreement must be given to the journal in confidence by the authors of ASPI journals. ASPI publication will not accept submissions that purposefully fail to disclose relationships or activities that are listed on the journal's disclosure form because doing so constitutes misconduct.

In the cases that a reviewer suspects undisclosed conflict of interest in a submitted manuscript or a reader suspects undisclosed conflict of interest in a published article ASP Ins.

Financial relationships (including employment, consultancies, stock ownership or options, honoraria, patents, and paid expert testimony) are the easiest to spot, the ones that are most frequently deemed to represent potential conflicts of interest and the ones that are therefore most likely to jeopardize the credibility of the journal, the authors, and science itself. Conflicts between other interests, such as those involving interpersonal relationships or rivalries, academic rivalry, and intellectual convictions, may also represent a conflict.
Authors publishing their manuscripts in ASPI journals have access to all of the study's data, are free to analyze and interpret the data, and prepare and publish manuscripts independently when and where they choose should not be restricted by agreements with study sponsors, whether for-profit or nonprofit. This academic. The agreements may need to be given to the journal in confidence by the authors.
