Conflict of Interest Policy

The editorial board of Paleontological Collection does not exclude a potential conflict of interests during the publication process.

All persons related to the manuscript, including authors, editors, reviewers, and readers, who comment on or evaluate the relevant paper, must report any conflict of interest.

If, according to the editors, there are circumstances that may affect an unbiased review, the editors will not engage such a reviewer into the peer-review process.

The editors reserve the right not to publish the manuscript if a conflict of interests declared by the author jeopardizes the objectivity and reliability of the research evaluation.

If the editorial office detects a conflict of interest that was not declared when submitting the manuscript, the manuscript may be rejected.
