Conflict of Interest Statement

• All authors, reviewers, and editors must explicitly declare any financial, personal, professional, academic, or other conflicts of interest that may influence or be perceived as influencing the conduct of the research, its evaluation, or the editorial decision.
• All authors must complete the Conflict of interest declaration section at the time of submission. If there is no conflict of interest, the authors will declare: "Conflicts of interest: none." The existence or absence of conflicts will be declared later in the published article.
• If there are conflicts of interest, the authors of the article must declare them in the corresponding section (Conflicts of Interest) and attach the declaration of conflicts of interest according to the model proposed by the ICMJE (https://www.icmje.org/downloads/coi_disclosure.docx).
• Editors and reviewers with a potential conflict of interest related to a manuscript will be excluded from the manuscript management and evaluation process.

The intention is not to prevent authors with potential conflicts of interest from publishing; rather, it is to ensure that such conflicts can be clearly identified, so that referees and, above all, readers can judge whether the authors might be affected by any bias that might influence the work.
