Conflict of Interest Policy
At the International Journal of Future Engineering Innovations, we uphold the highest ethical standards to ensure the integrity of the research we publish. A conflict of interest may arise when authors, or their employers or sponsors, have financial, commercial, legal, or professional relationships with other organizations or individuals that could potentially influence their research outcomes or interpretations.
Mandatory Disclosure
To maintain transparency and uphold the trust of our readers, full disclosure of any potential conflicts of interest is required at the time of manuscript submission. This disclosure enables the journal editor to make informed editorial decisions. Depending on the nature of the disclosed conflicts, the editor may choose to publish these disclosures to assist readers in evaluating the article. Alternatively, if a significant conflict is identified, the editor may decide against publishing the manuscript.

Disclosure Statement
Authors are also required to include a relevant disclosure statement within the manuscript text. This statement can be presented alongside acknowledgments and details of funding sources, ensuring complete transparency.
