I've always found the typical "conflict of interest" statements somewhat lacking, in that they only mention (a lack of) financial conflicts. There is also a potential for non-direct professional gains, theoretical interests, supporting previous publications, researcher career interests, etc. Are there any best-practice statements to describe a wider breadth of conflicting interests?
