Publication Ethics

Ethical standards for publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications in EAEC scientific journal, public trust in scientific findings, and that people receive credit for their ideas, as the journal is following the instructions of (COPE) It is important to avoid: 

Data fabrication and falsification

Data fabrication means the researcher did not actually do the study, but made up data. Data falsification means the researcher did the experiment, but then changed some of the data. 

Plagiarism

Taking the ideas and work of others without giving them credit is unfair and dishonest. Copying even one sentence from someone else's manuscript, or even one of your own that has previously been published, without proper citation, is considered plagiarism-use your own words instead. 

Multiple submissions

It is unethical to submit the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time. Doing this wastes the time of editors and peer reviewers, and can damage the reputation of journals if published in more than one. 

Redundant publications (or 'salami' publications)

This means publishing many very similar manuscripts based on the same experiment.

Improper author contribution or attribution:

All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript and approved all its claims. Don't forget to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution, including students and laboratory technicians.
