A conflict of interest exists when any financial, professional, personal, or academic relationship could influence, or appear to influence, the objectivity, integrity, or interpretation of the work submitted for publication. This may include direct or indirect financial support, commercial affiliations, institutional interests, personal relationships, or academic competition. The corresponding author is responsible for obtaining relevant conflict of interest disclosures from all co-authors and ensuring that the copyright/authorship declaration form, duly signed by all authors, is submitted along with the manuscript. It is the duty of the corresponding author to confirm with all co-authors whether any competing interests exist. Any such disclosures must be clearly stated in the title page or cover letter at the time of submission. As part of our ethical publishing standards, all reviewers are required to decline review assignments where a potential conflict of interest exists or to declare any such conflict before accepting the manuscript for review. Similarly, all editors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest in accordance with editorial ethics policies. Editors with a conflict related to a submitted manuscript will not participate in its review or decision-making process, and the manuscript will be reassigned to another qualified editor. If any conflict of interest is identified after publication, authors, readers, or concerned parties are requested to notify the editorial office promptly. All reported concerns will be investigated thoroughly, normally within seven (07) working days. If the claim is found to be valid, the journal reserves the right to take appropriate corrective action, including publication of corrections, expressions of concern, retraction of the article, and removal from journal platforms or indexing databases where applicable.
