Introduction





Conflict of Interest is a situation that has the potential to undermine the impartiality of a person because of the possibility of a clash between the person's self-interest and professional interest or public interest. In today's research enterprise, it is understood that conflicts could be perceived to have an effect on the objectivity of research activities. The key to handling potential conflicts is full disclosure of the situation to allow monitoring and conflict management.
