Conflict of Interest

The Editorial Board of the Фармацевтичний часопис. Pharmaceutical Review journal follows the rules approved by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).

“Public confidence in the review process and the reliability of published articles is partly dependent on how well the conflicts of interest are taken into account in the recording, review and editorial decision-making process. A conflict of interest arises when the author (authors, institution), reviewer or editor has financial or personal relationships that inadequately affect (violate) his actions (such relationships are also known as double obligations, interests or competing rights). These relationships can influence the decision. At the same time, not all relations are a real conflict of interests. The basis for a conflict of interest can exist regardless of whether the person believes or not that relations affect his scientific judgment. Financial relations (for example, employment, advisory services, stock ownership, fees, paid expert opinions) are conflicts of interest that are most easily identified and most likely to undermine the credibility of the journal, the authors, and the science.”

The Editorial Board requires all authors to report any financial conflicts of interest that could affect the results or interpretation of the manuscript. More about the conflict of interest is presented in the responsibilities of the Editorial Board, editors and editorial staff, reviewers and authors in the section PUBLISHER ETHICS.
