|
Publication in a peer-reviewed journal is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of authors, their institutions and editors of the journal. Therefore it is important that all the parties involved in the publishing process — authors, members of the editorial board, peer reviewers and editors — collaborate on the basis of goodwill, responsibility and impartiality. In view of this, our journal, Journal of Medical and Biological Research, ensures that all the parties conform to a certain policy of ethics. Our journal adheres to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
1. AuthorsFor convenience of distribution and in order to implement our policy on the use of materials, the authors transfer the exclusive ownership of the manuscript to the publisher. Authors submitting their manuscripts for publication in Journal of Medical and Biological Research should ensure that their work
The following is considered as breach of publication ethics by the author: 1. Plagiarism and copyright infringement
2. Self-plagiarism, including duplicate publication (publication of a paper that overlaps substantially with one already published): the authors should specify that their work is published for the first time; if parts of the manuscript have previously been published in another article, including any article in our journal, the authors should refer to the previous work and indicate the fundamental difference of the new manuscript from that earlier one, and at the same time reveal its relationship with the findings and conclusions presented in the previous work. Duplication and paraphrasing of one’s own works are unacceptable. – To determine the share of original text in the manuscript, we use the Russian screening system "Antiplagiat.vuz". 3. Compilation of a manuscript not as a result of research conducted by the author but by putting together fragments of other investigators’ works. 4. Fabrication: inventing data or results. 5. Falsification: manipulating (changing, omitting) research data, equipment, or processes with the intention of giving a false impression. 6. Misrepresentation of involvement
Dealing with misconduct
If authors’ misconduct is revealed, editors are obliged to investigate the circumstances and take appropriate measures, up to retraction of the article.
Procedure
1. Editors seek a response from those suspected of misconduct. If no response is received, editors may turn to the authors’ employer or relevant institution.
2. If authors prove that misconduct was caused through no fault of their own, editors and authors act together in order to eliminate the problem and offer apologies to those affected.
3. If the fault is insignificant (e.g. self-plagiarism in a minimal degree), editors issue a warning to the authors, who must ensure that the article is in compliance with the journal’s requirements.
4. In case of significant breach of publication ethics by the authors, the article can be retracted.
5. Editors inform the authors, as well as all relevant databases, about the retraction with an explanation as to the reason for retraction. 6. Retracted paper will get a red diagonal Retracted mark in the relevant journal issue. 2. Members of the Editorial Board
3. Peer reviewers
4. Editors
Published articles violating the journal's ethics policy will be retracted. |
