Guidelines on Conflict of Interest

 

When you submit your work, you will be asked to create a list of people with whom you have a conflict-of-interest. For this purpose, we are defining a conflict of interest as:

  • Your Ph.D. advisor and Ph.D. students forever.
  • Family relations by blood or marriage forever (if they might be potential reviewers).
  • People with whom you collaborated in the last five years.
  • Collaborators include co-authors on an accepted/rejected/pending research paper, co-PIs on an accepted/rejected/pending grant, those who fund your research, and researchers who you fund. You may exclude "service" collaborations like serving on a program committee together.
  • Others with whom you believe a conflict of interest exists.
