  7. Guidelines for filing a Competing Interest statement

    “A conflict of interest (COI) is a situation in which a person or organization is involved in multiple interests, financial interest, or otherwise, one of which could possibly corrupt the motivation of the
    individual or organization. The presence of a conflict of interest is independent of the occurrence of impropriety.” (Wikipedia)

    A writer is required to submit a Competing Interest statement if s/he has commercial or non-commerccial  ccompeting interest.

    Some examples are:

     

    • Personal fees received by the author/s as honoraria, royalties, consulting fees, lecture fees, testimonies, etc
    • Royalties being received by the authors or their institutions
