Conflict of Interest

A formal policy that a journal may have requiring a conflict of interest declaration or disclosure from an author submitting or publishing work is known as a Declaration of Conflicting Interests policy. Conflicts of interest occur when contributors, editors, or reviewers have partially disclosed interests that might sway their decisions about what is published. These have been defined as such that a reasonable reader would feel they were misled or duped if they were later exposed.

Reviewers

When there is a conflict of interest involving an author, editors should choose a guest editor to guarantee that the review process is devoid of conflicts. Reviewers' conflicts of interest with respect to an author should be avoided, according to editors. Before recommending an article, reviewers ought to get in touch with the editorial office to disclose any possible conflicts of interest. Although they do not automatically preclude a reviewer from reporting on an article, minor conflicts will be taken into consideration when evaluating the referees' suggestions.

Authors

It is mandatory for all authors and co-authors to declare any possible conflict of interest (such as employment, consultancy fees, research contracts, stock ownership, patent licences, advisory connections, etc.) when submitting their work. This material should go in the last part if the article is later accepted for publication.

Editors

If an editor has a conflict of interest (COI) for a manuscript that has been submitted, they should refrain from making any editorial judgements or participating in the editing process. If a manuscript is submitted from their institution or their own academic department, an editor may have a conflict of interest (COI); they should have clear procedures in place for handling it. Editors who submit their own work to a journal should have a colleague in the editorial office handle the article and abstain from any discussions or decisions pertaining to it.

Human and Animal Rights

Every study project ought to have been completed inside the proper ethical guidelines. Editors reserve the right to reject a paper and/or get in touch with the ethics committee of the author(s) if there is any suspicion that the work has not been conducted within the proper ethical framework. Rarely, even after receiving permission from an ethics committee, a paper may be rejected on ethical grounds if the editor has substantial reservations about the study's ethics. A disclaimer in compliance with the guidelines of the animal and human ethics committee should be included in articles including any clinical or animal research. It is important to conduct research such that animals are not harmed needlessly. Every clinical study requires registration.

Informed consent

Patients have a right to privacy in the International Journal of Clinical Studies and Medical case Reports, which cannot be infringed upon without agreement. Unless the material is necessary for scientific research and the patient (or parent or guardian) provides written informed consent for publishing, identifying information—such as names, initials, or hospital numbers—should not be published in written descriptions, photos, or pedigrees. An identified patient must be shown the article before it is published in order to get informed consent for this purpose. It is recommended that authors notify these patients in the event that any potentially identifying material becomes available online or in print following publication. According to local laws and regulations, documented consent from the patient should be kept on file with the journal, the authors, or both. Not necessary
