Conflicts of Interest Disclosure

OKARA's editorial board will never use unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript for any reason without the author's explicit written consent. Privileged information or ideas obtained before and after peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal purposes. Editors will disqualify or automatically reject themselves from considering manuscripts with conflicts of interest due to competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with any authors, companies, or institutions associated with the papers. Editors require all authors to disclose relevant competing interests and state them implicitly in the text body before submission. The editors will publish corrections if such interests are revealed after publication. Other appropriate actions, such as issuing a retraction or expressing concern, will be taken if necessary.
