Webinar: Conflict of Interest and How to write footnote in Articles

Last Update: 16 February, 2025 | 13:20

On 14 Dec 2021, we held a webinar about "Conflict of Interest" and "How to write a footnote in an article" in cooperation with the Alumni Association of Sharif University of Technology presented by Dr. SM Miri (CEO of Briefland, The Netherlands).

Conflicts of interest (CoI) comprise those which may not be fully apparent and which may influence the judgment of the author, reviewers, and editors. They have been described as those that would make a reasonable reader feel misled or deceived when revealed later. They may be personal, commercial, political, academic, or financial. 

Authors, editors, reviewers, publishers, and journal owners may all have conflicts of interest. Therefore, all of these groups must know the essential elements of CoI in their assignments. 

The current webinar tries to explain the principles of CoI from different aspects to the mentioned audiences. 

In the second part of the webinar, we will talk about "footnote" in an article. The footnote is one of the essential parts of an article that must be thought out before research. With this respect, we discuss more elements like authors' contribution, funding/support, informed consent, acknowledgments, etc.

 

This webinar is held in cooperation with the Alumni Association of Sharif University of Technology (https://alumsharif.org/) and will be freely available for all interested academic persons.
