Abstract
The integrity of published scientific literature relies on transparency. There are processes in place to promote transparency and enhance the trustworthiness of study results. Journals, including the <i>Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy</i> (<i>JOSPT</i>), require full disclosure of competing interests when authors submit manuscripts for publication. A competing interest is "a financial or intellectual relationship that may impact an individual's ability to approach a scientific question with an open mind." The purpose of this editorial is to discuss the types of competing interests that may influence the work of authors. <i>J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2020;50(3):116-117. doi:10.2519/jospt.2020.0103</i>.
