Declaration of Interest Definition:

A conflict of interest arises when authors have interests that are not fully apparent and that may influence their judgement in such a way that an independent observer might reasonably question whether the statements made in their article are influenced by their own interests, and or that which, when revealed later, would make a reasonable reader feel mislead or deceived. They may be personal, commercial, political, academic or financial. Financial interests may include employment, research funding, stock or share ownership, payment for lectures or travel, consultancies and company support of staff.

Policy of the AACB on Conflict of Interest:

All authors must disclose, on the disclosure of interest form, all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest including any affiliation with or financial involvement in, or payments or other assistance in kind from, any organisation with direct interest in the subject matter. The reason for requesting disclosure of possible conflict of interest is not to exclude authors, but to inform the reader/audience so they may decide for themselves whether or not an article/presentation may be biased. Information from the document will be disclosed to readers but will not generally be used to exclude authors from publishing in the CBR journal.
