Conflict of Interest Policy

The International Journal of Behavioral Social and Movement Sciences (IJOBSMS) is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and transparency in scholarly publishing. To ensure objectivity and trust in the scientific process, all authors, reviewers, and editors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

What Constitutes a Conflict of Interest?

A conflict of interest occurs when an individual’s personal, financial, or professional affiliations could influence or appear to influence their objectivity in the publication process. These may include:

Financial relationships: Employment, consultancy, stock ownership, or paid expert testimony.

Academic Affiliations: Institutional ties or competing research interests.

Personal Relationships: Family or professional ties that may bias judgment.

Ideological Beliefs: Competing intellectual or personal convictions.

Author Responsibilities

Authors must declare any conflicts of interest at the time of submission. This should be in a "Conflict of Interest" section at the end of the manuscript.

"The authors declare no conflict of interest." (If none exist)

Reviewer & Editor Duties

Reviewers and editors must recuse themselves from handling manuscripts where a conflict exists. Editors will reassign such submissions to impartial reviewers.

Failure to Disclose

Failure to disclose a potential conflict of interest may lead to the rejection of the manuscript or retraction of published work, depending on the severity of the breach.

COPE Alignment

This policy is aligned with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) guidelines and reflects our commitment to ethical publishing.
