Conflict of Interest Policy
At-Taradhi requires disclosure of any financial, personal, or professional relationships that could influence research, authorship, or publication, in accordance with ICMJE and COPE guidelines.
Authors
All authors must disclose: financial interests (employment, consultancies, stock ownership, patents, funding); personal relationships that may influence outcomes; and institutional interests at the time of submission. If no conflict exists, authors must state: "The authors declare no conflict of interest."
Reviewers
Reviewers must decline to review manuscripts when they have a close personal or professional relationship with any author, a financial interest in the subject, are direct competitors, or have previously reviewed the manuscript for another journal.
Editors
Editors recuse themselves from handling manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest. Such manuscripts are assigned to another editor or a guest editor.
Funding Disclosure
All funding sources must be acknowledged. Authors must specify the role of any funder in study design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, or the publication decision.
