Discussion

Thomas Johansson Nov 29, 2008:
Bias??? If it has to do with the possible conflict of interest of either the person who defends or the person who challenges the thesis, and since the context is academic and has to do with a person's relation to done research and its conclusions, then perhaps it might be more appropriate to use the concept of "bias" instead - rather than the more general "conflict of interest" -... E.g. "declaration of (possible) bias". What do others think?

Re asker's question:
No. The translator's job is to translate a particular word or text. Attempting to interpret what is meant is rather like walking on thin ice. If the meaning is not apparent then the author should preferably be asked to clarify.
Note from asker:
"not an interpretation of what might or might not be intended in its application." But isn't that the point of being a translator?
Peer comment(s):
disagree Sven Petersson : Please see my example form!

Thank you Sven. However, my suggestion is more to the point. What the disqualification consists of can be explained if necessary.
disagree Graham Timmins : What you put on a jävsdeklaration does not stop you from defending (or challenging!) a thesis, you just have to declare any possible conflicts of interest in advance.

Thank you Graham. However, my answer is a translation of the term not an interpretation of what might or might not be intended in its application.

declaration of conflict of interests

Tycker jag kan passa i sammanhanget.

Det handlar väl om risken för att någon som deltar i det eventuella godkännandet av avhandlingen är jävisk i sammanhanget, d.v.s. kan ha ett personligt intresse för att avhandlingen godkänns eller inte godkänns.
Peer comment(s):
agree Graham Timmins : this is the correct English, though conflict of interest (singular) is more common

statement about conflicts of interest

Peer comment(s):
neutral Graham Timmins : I don't think this is as vague as a 'statement about' something, it has the element of disclosure, therefore 'declaration'
