Editorial COI Declaration

As part of its commitment to good publication practices, the Philippine Journal of Nursing (PJN) requires all members of its editorial team, including the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, Editorial Board members, and Editorial Advisers, to disclose annually any actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest. These include current or recent financial relationships with commercial entities whose products or services may be discussed in the journal’s content, as well as other professional or personal relationships that could influence, or be perceived to influence, editorial judgment.

Disclosure is a commitment to transparency and does not necessarily imply bias or compromise the integrity of editorial decisions. This policy is guided by the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the principles and guidance of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The following conflicts of interest were disclosed.
