Conflict of Interest

Jurnal Ilmiah Medicamento requires all authors to disclose the source of a potential conflict of interest.

"Potential conflicts of interest and bias exist when professional judgments about primary interests (such as patient well-being or research validity) may be influenced by secondary interests (such as financial gain). The perception of a conflict of interest is as important as the actual conflict of interest."

Any interest or relationship, financial or otherwise, that might be perceived to affect the author's objectivity is considered a potential source of conflict of interest. It should be disclosed when directly relevant or related to the work the authors describe in their manuscript. Sources of potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: patents or shareholdings, membership of a company's board of directors, and membership of an advisory board or committee. If the author has no conflict of interest to declare, this must still be stated at the time of manuscript submission. It is the responsibility of the relevant author to review this policy with the entire team of authors and to be collectively disclosed upon submission of manuscripts.
