Authors should consider Publication Ethics when publishing:

The publication of an article in a double blind peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a reasonable and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of work of the author and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior. Ethics topics to consider when publishing:

1. Authorship of the Article (s):  Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported research study.

2. Originality and Plagiarism: The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

3. Data Access and Retention: Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with an article for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data.

4. Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication: An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication.
