Conflict of Interest

TECHNO REVIEW: Journal of Technology and Management (TRJTM) requires full transparency regarding any relationships or interests that could influence, or be perceived to influence, the research, interpretation of data, or presentation of results. Authors should avoid agreements with study sponsors, whether commercial or non-commercial, that restrict access to research data or compromise independence in data analysis, interpretation, and publication of findings.

All authors must disclose any financial or non-financial relationships that may constitute a potential conflict of interest. Financial interests may include, but are not limited to, employment, consultancies, advisory roles, honoraria, grants or other funding, stock or share ownership, paid expert testimony, and patent or licensing arrangements. Non-financial interests may include personal or professional relationships, institutional affiliations, academic competition, or personal beliefs that could affect the objectivity of the work.

Potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed by all authors during the manuscript submission process through the journal’s online submission system. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all disclosures are accurately reported and must include a consolidated “Conflicts of Interest” statement in the manuscript. This section should appear immediately before the reference list and reflect all relevant disclosures provided by the authors.

Examples of disclosure statements include:

• Conflicts of Interest: Author A received research funding from Company A.
• Author B received speaker honoraria from Company X and holds shares in Company Y.
• Author C has served as a consultant and expert witness for Company Z.
• Author D is the inventor of Patent X.

If no potential conflicts of interest exist, authors must include the following statement:

Conflicts of Interest: The authors declare that there are no conflicts of interest.

Failure to disclose relevant conflicts of interest may result in manuscript rejection or, if identified after publication, corrective action in accordance with the journal’s publication ethics policies.
