Editorial Independence
Annals of Clinical and Analytical Medicine (ACAM) upholds full editorial independence. Decisions on reviewer selection, evaluation, and acceptance/rejection are made solely on scientific merit and ethical standards. Advertisers, sponsors, or funders have no influence over editorial processes.

Advertising
Advertisements are clearly separated from editorial and scientific content and labeled as “Advertisement” or “Sponsored Content.” Acceptance of an advertisement does not imply endorsement of any product, service, or organization by ACAM. All advertising materials are subject to editorial review for compliance with medical ethics, patient safety, and journal integrity and must adhere to applicable national and institutional regulations.

Sponsorship and Financial Support
Sponsorship of journal issues, supplements, or scientific events is declared transparently. All institutional, corporate, or individual financial contributions are disclosed in the related publication, with scope and conditions summarized. Sponsors do not participate in content selection, peer-review outcomes, or editorial decisions.

Ethical Boundaries of Support
Any financial, logistical, or institutional support during research or publication must be fully disclosed in the Acknowledgements and/or Funding / Conflict of Interest sections of the article. Methodological or analytical contributions that may involve potential conflicts of interest (e.g., statistical or medical writing support) must also be specified. Where applicable, data, material, and method sharing is encouraged to enhance transparency and reproducibility.

Joint Scientific Activities and Collaborations
ACAM accepts collaborations with academic institutions, professional societies, or industry only within transparent and ethical frameworks. The nature of the collaboration, financial or logistical contributions, and partner roles are disclosed in full. Joint initiatives are evaluated strictly on academic merit, ethical compliance, and contribution to scientific advancement.

Conflict of Interest Transparency
ACAM requires authors, reviewers, and editors to disclose all financial and non-financial conflicts of interest. The journal adheres to COPE, ICMJE, WAME, and DOAJ standards for the disclosure and management of conflicts of interest. Full transparency is essential for impartial peer review, trustworthy publishing, and the protection of scientific integrity.
