Sponsorship arrangements do not influence editorial decisions. Sponsors have no input into manuscript selection, peer review assignments, or editorial content.
2. Disclosure
All sponsorship relationships are publicly disclosed on our website. Sponsored content (such as supplements or special issues) is clearly identified as such and undergoes the same peer review process as regular content.
3. Prohibited Relationships
We do not enter into arrangements that require a positive editorial outcome for a sponsor's research. We do not accept sponsorship that creates a conflict of interest that cannot be managed through disclosure alone.
