Conflict of Interest Policy
A conflict of interest exists when a financial, personal or professional interest could influence, or be seen to influence, how work is carried out, assessed or published in International Journal of Nursing Studies and Practice.
Authors
Every manuscript carries a Conflict of Interest statement. Authors declare funding, employment, consultancies, shareholdings, patents and personal relationships relevant to the work. If there is nothing to declare, the statement says so.
Reviewers and editors
Reviewers and editors with a conflict take no part in handling the manuscript. See the policies for reviewers and editors.
Undisclosed conflicts
If a conflict comes to light after publication, the journal may publish a correction and, where the conflict undermines the work, take further action under Misconduct and Sanctions.
