Information obtained in the course of review that is associated with possible benefits should not be disseminated and may not be used for personal gain.
A reviewer may not participate in evaluating an article if there are conflicts of interest due to competitive, collaborative or other relationships with the author (any of the authors), companies or other organizations connected with the submitted article.
Plagiarism
