DJVS requires that all authors disclose any potential sources of conflict of interest.
Any interest or relationship, financial or otherwise that might be perceived as
influencing an author's objectivity is considered a potential source of conflict of
interest. These must be disclosed when directly relevant or directly related to the
work that the authors describe in their manuscript. Potential sources of conflict of
interest include, but are not limited to, patent or stock ownership, membership of a
company board of directors, membership of an advisory board or committee for a
company, and consultancy for or receipt of speaker's fees from a company. The
existence of a conflict of interest does not preclude publication. If the authors have
no conflict of interest to declare, they must also state this at submission (e.g., “The
author(s) declare(s) they have no conflicts of interest”). It is the responsibility of the
corresponding author to review this policy with all authors and collectively to
disclose with the submission ALL pertinent commercial and other relationships. The
Conflict of Interest statement should be included within the main text file of your
submission.
