 In this video, we will discuss conflicts of research interest. The conflict occurs between the actual objectives of the study and the personal intentions of the researcher. In other words, it is the conflict between the objectives of the research and the researcher. The conflicts can be due to the influence of a funding agency, a professional body, an organization or the researcher's ideology. As a result of the conflict, a researcher can either overestimate the effect of an intervention or underestimate the side effects of the intervention. Having a conflict of interest in research does not prohibit one from conducting research. But the researcher needs to disclose it openly. Readers and the institutional ethical committee must examine the study's quality or methodology to determine whether the study's objective has been compromised. To sum up, the conflict occurs between the objectives of the research and the researcher. A transparent and honest researcher will have to disclose it openly to readers and the institution.
