Conflict of Interest Policy

Scientific Journal of Information System (SJIS) requires authors, reviewers, and editors to disclose relationships or interests that could influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence, their professional judgment.

Authors

Authors must disclose relevant financial, professional, personal, and institutional competing interests. Research funding and other relevant support must be acknowledged.

Where no competing interests exist, authors should include the statement: "The authors declare no competing interests."

Reviewers

Reviewers must disclose any relevant conflict before accepting a review assignment. Reviewers who cannot provide an impartial assessment should decline the invitation.

Editors

Editors must not make editorial decisions on manuscripts where personal, professional, financial, or institutional interests may compromise their independence.

Affected manuscripts must be reassigned to an appropriately qualified editor.

Management of Disclosures

Disclosed interests will be evaluated by the editorial team. Appropriate measures may include further disclosure, reviewer replacement, editorial reassignment, or independent assessment.

Failure to disclose a significant competing interest may result in further editorial investigation or corrective action.
