Declaration of Conflict of interests

To guarantee the independence, objectivity and scientific rigor of the published works, it is considered necessary to express in writing the existence of any relationship between the authors of the article and public or private entity from which any possible conflict of interest could arise.

A potential conflict of interest can arise when the authors maintain economic relationships (eg, contracts, research funding, consulting, etc.) or personal (eg, family relationship) with other people or organizations that can influence their work in an interesting way.

The policy of Tendencias is not to prevent authors from publishing potential conflicts of interest, but that these can be identified openly, so that the reviewers and, where appropriate, readers can judge the manuscript with the full statement of the facts and, in this way, they can determine if the authors, regardless of their interests, present a predisposition that could have a direct impact on the work.
