doi:10.22465/juo.2024.err01

The journal’s policy in handling editors’ or in-house staff’s manuscript was posted on January 1, 2023 at the “instructions for authors (https://www.e-juo.org/authors/authors.php)” and “principles of transparency and best practice (https://www.e-juo.org/about/best_practice.php)” sections as follows:

“All manuscripts from editors, employees, or members of the editorial board are processed the same as other unsolicited manuscripts. During the review process, submitters will not engage in the decision process. Editors will not handle their own manuscripts, although they are commissioned ones. We neither guarantee the acceptance without review nor very short peer review times for unsolicited manuscripts. Commissioned manuscripts also were reviewed before publication.”

Therefore, the conflict of interest declaration of the following 7 articles are added as follows:
