Conflicts of Interest
All authors must disclose any and all conflicts of interest, as they may have connections with an institution or product that is mentioned in the manuscript, and/or is important to the outcome of the study presented. Authors should also disclose conflicts of interest with products that compete with those mentioned in their manuscript. A conflict of interest may exist when an author (or the author’s institution or employer) has financial or personal relationships or affiliations that may inappropriately influence (or bias) the author’s decisions, work, or manuscript.
All authors are required to complete and submit the Form for Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest. Note: This form will be requested after a manuscript has been submitted, but authors should also include conflicts of interest disclosure in the Acknowledgment section of the submitted manuscript.
