Conflict of Interest/Study Support
Authors submitting work for publication in the Journal, including those writing letters to the editors or editorials, are required to submit a conflict of interest disclosure.

Specific author contributions: List the role played by each author, e.g., in planning and/or conducting the study, collecting and/or interpreting data, and/or drafting the manuscript. For each author, there should also be a statement that he or she has approved the final draft submitted.
Financial support: Disclose funding sources for the publication. Describe the role of any study sponsors in the study design, collection, analysis, and interpretation of the data and in the writing of the report. If there was funding but the work was independent of it, this must be specifically stated. (Other types of assistance—i.e., non-financial—may be acknowledged in an Acknowledgments section in the text.)
