What Represents a Competing Interest?

A competing interest is anything that interferes with or could reasonably be perceived as interfering with, the full and objective presentation, peer review, editorial decision-making, or publication of research or non-research articles submitted to Economic Analysis.

Competing interests can be financial or non-financial, professional, or personal. Competing interests can arise in relation to an organization or another person.

Declaring all potential competing interests is a requirement of Economic Analysis and is integral to the transparent reporting of research.

Failure to declare competing interests can result in the immediate rejection of a manuscript. If an undisclosed competing interest comes to light after publication, Economic Analysis will take action in accordance with COPE guidelines and issue a public notification to the community.
