Conflict of Interest: This is designed to declare any potential financial conflicts of interest before the review process begins.

The following would be regarded as potential conflicts of interest: 

1. Direct monetary payment to an author for the research or manuscript production by the sponsor of a product or service evaluated in an article.

2. Ownership of shares by an author in the company sponsoring a product service valued in a report.

3. consultancies with companies or other organizations with a financial interest in the promotion of health care products and services.

Any declaration will be considered carefully in the case of manuscripts involving empirical evaluation of products and services. For the majority of documents, which are of a general theoretical or applied nature, conflict of interest is unlikely to be an issue. 

Authors should include patients' informed consent forms and the bioethics committee approval of the corresponding university.
