Conflicts of Interest

A conflict of interest refers to any situation that may influence, or be perceived to influence, the impartiality of the peer review process, decision-making, or the publication of articles in Nature-Nurture Journal of Psychology (NNJP). These conflicts may arise from personal, financial, or professional relationships that could be seen as affecting objectivity.

All authors, as well as members of the editorial board, are required to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest during manuscript submission or upon accepting an editorial or review assignment.

To ensure a transparent and unbiased editorial and review process, NNJP implements a system where the names of handling editors and reviewers are made publicly available upon the publication of articles. This promotes transparency and makes any potential conflicts of interest readily apparent.

Failure to disclose competing interests may lead to the rejection of a manuscript. In the event that an undisclosed conflict of interest is identified after publication, NNJP will take appropriate corrective action in accordance with internal policies and the guidelines set forth by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest during submission in the designated statements section. A conflict of interest statement will automatically be generated and included in both the peer review PDF and the final published version of the article.
