Publications can request and retrieve Author conflict of interest (COI) disclosure information from Convey. Users with Editor, Author, and Reviewer roles may be granted permission to view the data. Editor roles may also be granted permission to initiate disclosure requests manually.
For Article Types configured for use with the Convey feature, users with permission may access a Conflict of Interest Disclosures page to view data retrieved from Convey.
The page displays all COI disclosure information available for authors of the submission. A date/time stamp indicates when the information was last requested. The report displayed in this window is presented by a Convey widget, which will always present the latest data available within the Convey system. The widget will also display messages to the user if there are any problems presenting the report.
A View Author Conflict of Interest action link will appear if the COI disclosure request has been initiated either automatically or manually by an Editor). Click this link to open the Conflict of Interest Disclosures page for the submission. The link may appear in these Author folders:
A View Author Conflict of Interest action link will appear in the Pending Assignments folder. (The link appears if the COI disclosure request has been initiated either automatically or manually by an Editor). Click this link to open the Conflict of Interest Disclosures page for the submission.
Depending on configuration, the Reviewer version of the report may not display author-identifying information.
A View Author Conflict of Interest ink will appear on the Details page. The link appears if the COI disclosure has been initiated either automatically or manually. Click this link to open the Conflict of Interest Disclosures page for the submission.
Editor roles with permission to request data from Convey see a Request Updated COI Data link on the Conflict of Interest Disclosure page. Click the link to display the latest metadata from the Convey system. The last updated date/time stamp will update to reflect the time of the refresh.
In addition, if an Article Type is not configured with a trigger point to initiate a request from Convey automatically, an Editor role with permission to request data sees an Initiate COI Disclosure Retrieval action link in place of the View COI Disclosure link on the Details page.

After a user manually initiates a request, the Initiate COI Disclosure Retrieval link is replaced with the View COI Disclosure link.
