The Editor-in-Chief and all the members of the Editorial Board of the JCARME have their manuscripts subjected to the same reviewing process as all other authors. In instances where a reviewer suspects an undisclosed conflict of interest in a manuscript that has been submitted, or a reader suspects an undisclosed conflict of interest in a published manuscript (where all authors have completed the ICMJE Form for Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest at the time of submission), the JCARME will follow COPE’s guidelines.
