As part of its Conflict of Interest Policy, the Mises Journal adopts rigorous management to ensure the impartiality and credibility of the editorial process. Authors, reviewers, and editors must declare any situations that could influence—or be perceived as influencing—the evaluation, publication, or interpretation of scientific works.

What is considered a conflict of interest?

A conflict of interest is understood as any personal, professional, academic, or financial relationship that compromises the objectivity of the editorial process, including, but not limited to:

• Funding by commercial entities with a direct interest in the research outcomes;

• Personal or professional relationships (e.g., advisor-advisee, frequent collaborators) that may affect the neutrality of the peer review;

• Academic or institutional competition that interferes with the fair evaluation of a manuscript.

Disclosure and Management

• Authors: Must declare potential conflicts at the time of submission, using the "Comments for the Editor" field.

• Reviewers and Editors: Are required to report conflicts upon accepting the evaluation of a manuscript and, if necessary, must recuse themselves from the process.

The existence of a declared conflict does not necessarily imply the rejection of the work. Each case will be analyzed by the Editorial Committee, which may adopt measures such as:

• Publishing a conflict of interest statement alongside the article;

• Appointing alternative reviewers;

• In severe cases, retraction or public correction.

Failure to disclose a conflict of interest that is subsequently identified will result in editorial actions, which may include the disqualification of the manuscript or a public notification.

The Mises Journal reinforces its commitment to research ethics, in alignment with the guidelines of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).
