At the time of manuscript submission, authors are responsible for identifying and declaring any institutional affiliation, financial support, consulting activity, equity participation, or personal relationship that may have directly or indirectly influenced the study. If a conflict of interest exists, even if only potential, the authors must disclose it at the time of submission.
