Conflict of Interest Policy

Authors who submit their manuscripts to the ABDIMAS IBU JOUNAL (AIBUJ) must disclose all relationships or interests that could influence, or bias the work. Although authors may not be aware of potential conflicts, the disclosure of relationships and interest affords a more transparent process, leading to an accurate and objective assessment of the work. A few potential conflicts of interests that are directly or indirectly related to the research may include, but are not limited to, the following:

  1. Research grants from funding agencies (please give the research funder and the grant number)
  2. Honoraria for speaking at conferences
  3. Financial support for attending conferences
  4. Financial support for educational programs
  5. Support from a project sponsor
  6. Position on advisory board or board of directors or other types of management relationships
  7. Multiple affiliations
  8. Intellectual property rights (e.g. patents, copyrights and royalties from such rights)

The corresponding author of the manuscript will include a summary statement on the title page that is separate from their manuscript.
