Publishing Ethics
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential element in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct sign of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and represent the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behaviour for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer and the publisher.
