Conflict of Interest
Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed per the journal's guidelines for an article submitted to the International Journal of Humanities and Education Development (IJHED). Here are some examples of conflicts of interest that authors should consider disclosing:
- Financial Relationships: If the research received funding or support from organizations that have a financial interest in the outcomes, such as corporations, foundations, or government agencies, these relationships should be disclosed.
- Employment or Affiliation: Authors should disclose any affiliations with organizations that could be perceived as having a vested interest in the research, such as universities, research institutes, or advocacy groups.
- Personal Relationships: Any personal relationships that could potentially bias the research or its interpretation should be disclosed. This might include relationships with colleagues, mentors, or family members involved in the research or a vested interest in its outcomes.
- Intellectual Bias: Authors should disclose any personal beliefs, academic allegiances, or intellectual commitments that could influence the research or its presentation.
- Competing Interests: Authors should disclose any competing commitments, such as serving on advisory boards, holding patents, or having pending publications, that could impact the research or its interpretation.
It's essential for authors to consider any potential conflicts of interest carefully and to disclose them transparently when submitting their manuscript for publication. Full disclosure helps ensure the integrity and credibility of the research and allows editors, reviewers, and readers to assess any potential biases objectively. It's better to disclose potential conflicts of interest than to omit them if in doubt.
