5.2.4 Authors' Conflicts of Interests and Financial Disclosures

Authors' financial disclosures should be published with articles, either on the title page or in the Acknowledgment section. JAMA and the Archives Journals include authors' financial disclosures in the Acknowledgment section at the end of the article. JAMA requires authors to include all potential conflicts of interest, including specific financial interests and relationships and affiliations (other than those affiliations listed in the title page of the manuscript) relevant to the subject of their manuscript in the Acknowledgment section at the time the manuscript is submitted. Authors without conflicts of interest, including specific financial interests and relationships and affiliations relevant to the subject of their manuscript, should include a statement of no such interests in the Acknowledgment section of the manuscript.9 (See Box and 5.5.1, Conflicts of Interest, Reporting Funding and Other Support.)
