Conflict of Interest Policy


Transparency and objectivity in research are essential for Sportif Bakış. These principles are strictly followed in our peer review process and decision for publication.

Manuscript submissions are assigned to reviewers in an effort to minimize potential conflicts of interest.

The following relationships between reviewers and authors are considered conflicts and are avoided:

  • Current colleagues, recent colleagues, recent co-authors, and doctoral students for which editor served as their committee chair.

After papers are assigned, reviewers are required to inform the editor-in-chief of any conflicts mentioned in the list above and any other conflicts that may exist.

In case of a conflict of interest decleration during the review process, submission can be retracted. For detailed information please check Retraction Policy page
