Conflict of Interest Policy

Last Updated: April 2025

InnovatioSports Journal expects all stakeholders to act in accordance with the principles of transparency and integrity. Therefore, it is mandatory for authors, reviewers, and editors to clearly disclose any potential conflicts of interest.

DEFINITION

A conflict of interest is a situation where personal interests may compromise or appear to compromise professional judgment. These interests can be financial, academic, institutional, or personal.

FOR AUTHORS

  • All authors must declare any financial support, consultancy relations, patent applications, or other interest conflicts related to the manuscript at the time of submission.

  • A Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form, compliant with the standards of the ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors), must be completed and uploaded to the system.

FOR REVIEWERS AND EDITORS

  • Reviewers with a conflict of interest must not participate in the evaluation process and should inform the editor immediately.

  • Editors must also disclose any relationships that may affect their objectivity and, if necessary, transfer the editorial responsibility to another editor.

TRANSPARENCY

  • All declared conflicts of interest are published alongside accepted articles.

  • Authors must also report any potential conflicts of interest that arise after publication without delay.

InnovatioSports Journal considers conflicts of interest as critical to the reliability of the scientific process and adheres strictly to ethical principles in this regard.
