CONFLICT OF INTEREST AND COMPETING INTERESTS POLICY

Fine Arts Journal of Global Review (FAJGR) is committed to ensuring transparency, objectivity, and integrity throughout the publication process. The journal requires all participants—including authors, reviewers, editors, and Editorial Board members—to disclose any actual, potential, or perceived conflicts of interest that could influence the evaluation, editorial decision, or publication of a manuscript.

Authors

Authors must disclose any financial, institutional, professional, or personal relationships that may influence, or appear to influence, the research or its interpretation. Where no competing interests exist, authors should include the following declaration:

"The authors declare that they have no known competing interests or conflicts of interest relevant to this manuscript."

Reviewers

Reviewers are expected to maintain the highest standards of confidentiality and impartiality. They must decline invitations to review manuscripts where any conflict of interest could compromise their independent judgment or create the appearance of bias.

Editors

Editors are responsible for ensuring that editorial decisions are fair, objective, and free from undue influence. Any editor with a competing interest in a submitted manuscript will recuse themselves from the editorial process, and the manuscript will be assigned to an independent editor.

Editorial Integrity

Editorial decisions are based exclusively on the manuscript's scholarly merit, originality, scientific quality, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal's scope. Personal, financial, institutional, or commercial interests must not influence editorial or publication decisions.

Undisclosed Conflicts

If an undisclosed conflict of interest is identified before or after publication, the journal will investigate the matter in accordance with established publication ethics. Where appropriate, corrective measures may include publication of a correction, an Expression of Concern, or retraction of the article.
