Description
Return supplied review-role conflicts.
Research ethics review involves evidence, participants, governance and context as well as record completeness. Role counts, disclosure presence and weighted criterion terms can organize supplied assertions; a complete checklist or numerical score does not itself determine ethical acceptability or valid authority.
Return supplied review-role conflicts.
When to use this tool
Use Review Role Recusal Flag when checking the stated research-review record, role, disclosure or criterion convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter reviewerRoles, suppliedConflictingRoles. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.

}Limitations and assumptions
- The conflict policy is supplied; actual conflicts, independence and recusal obligations require separate review.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
