Conflict of Interest Policy
Author’s Conflict of Interest
Scholaria International Journal of Research requires all authors to disclose any personal, financial, or professional relationships that could influence, or be perceived to influence, the research findings, interpretations, or conclusions of their manuscript.
Authors should evaluate whether any undisclosed relationship, if revealed after publication, could affect the credibility of the work. In such cases, full disclosure is required. The corresponding author is responsible for submitting conflict of interest statements on behalf of all co-authors.
Disclosures may include, but are not limited to, financial interests, funding sources, patents, institutional affiliations, or competing submissions. Any declared conflicts will be published in the final article under a dedicated “Conflict of Interest” section.

Additionally, consultancy roles, advisory positions, or any professional engagements that may influence the research must be transparently disclosed in the “Acknowledgements” section.
