For some (not all-inclusive) examples, COIs exist when the author and reviewer are involved in:
- an advisoral relationship (one is or was on the other's dissertation committee).
- an employment relationship (one is the boss of the other).
- a contractual relationship (one controls the awarding of contracts to the other).
- a close personal relationship.
- a financial relationship.
- a current or very recent collaboration, co-authorship, or co-worker relationship.
