Conflict of Interest

Conflict of Interest (COI)

To ensure impartiality, JCARM requires full disclosure of any financial, personal, or professional interests that could be perceived as influencing the research.

  • For Authors: Authors must declare all funding sources and potential conflicts of interest during the submission process. If no conflict exists, a "Statement of No Conflict" must be included in the manuscript.

  • For Reviewers: Reviewers must recuse themselves if they have a known professional or personal relationship with the authors or a vested interest in the research outcome.

  • For Editors: Editorial decisions are shielded from commercial influence and are based solely on the scientific merit and relevance of the work.

Ethical Treatment of Human and Animal Subjects

Research involving human participants, data, or animals must include a statement confirming that the study was approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) or an equivalent Ethics Committee. JCARM reserves the right to request proof of ethical clearance at any stage of the review process.

Data Integrity & Transparency

Authors are encouraged to maintain accurate records of supporting data and to provide access to such data if requested by the Editorial Board for validation purposes. Fabricating or falsifying results is considered a severe breach of ethical conduct and will result in a permanent ban from future JCARM publications.
