These could be conflicts in terms of authorship, funding, etc. If you have no conflicts of interest to declare, you still need to include this ethical declaration in your paper to eliminate any uncertainty on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Data access statement<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A data access or data availability statement helps identify where the data that supports your research work can be found.

For example, if your work involves the study of live subjects \u2013 human or animal \u2013 you\u2019ll need to have an ethical declaration that the necessary permissions were obtained, and guidelines followed for your study. This ethical declaration should also confirm that approval was obtained from institutional\/national research ethics review boards as required for ethical research and submission. If ethical approval was not needed for your study, you\u2019ll need to mention that as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Funding statement<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, ensure you add information about the source of funding for your study. This ensures that journal editors, peer reviewers, and readers are aware of any financial support you received such as grants or institutional\/corporate funding. If no external funding was obtained, you can mention that as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adding these relevant ethical declarations ensures transparency when you submit your manuscript and when it is finally published. This will also help reduce the back-and-forth with the editor\u2019s desk post submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to see your manuscript move to peer review more quickly?
