Conflict of Interests

The ABAA Journal is committed to ensure the principles of integrity and objectivity in its publications. To ensure transparency and unbiased evaluation, all individuals involved in the publication process are obligated to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may influence the objectivity or integrity of the work. Conflicts of interest can arise from various sources, such as financial, personal, professional, or contractual relationships.

Furthermore, we encourage anyone who becomes aware of an undisclosed conflict of interest to report it to the relevant editor. This proactive approach helps maintain the credibility and fairness of our publication process.

In addition, we recommend that authors and editors familiarize themselves with the guidelines provided by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) on COPE’s Conflicts of interest and Competing interests . These guidelines provide valuable insights and best practices for managing and addressing potential conflicts of interest effectively.
