6. Never plagiarize the work or ideas of others or your own work. Always provide appropriate citation.

7. Avoid unnecessary fragmentation or redundant publication of research reports to artificially increase the number of publications.

8. Never include personal criticism in a written piece of work.

9. Report to the Editor any changes made to the manuscript after acceptance.

10. Include as coauthors only those persons who have made significant scientific contributions to the work, and determine order of authorship in a manner appropriate to the contribution. All coauthors share responsibility for the quality and integrity of the submitted and published manuscript.

11. Reveal to the Editor any potential conflict of interest for any author that might be affected by publication of the results contained in a manuscript or in the development of the research.

12. List all funding sources and sources of data or other in-kind support for all authors in the acknowledgments.

13. In the role of corresponding author, ensure that all coauthors are fully cognizant of the steps and changes in the manuscript during the peer review process.

AVOIDING PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is using another person’s words or ideas without giving credit to that person or that person’s work. This includes using text, figures, tables, or ideas, and includes not just duplicating any of these items but also close paraphrasing of text that still represents someone else’s ideas or work.

To avoid potential plagiarism:

Ensure that permission (in writing) has been obtained for reuse of any text, figures, or tables from the author and copyright holder
Learn the journal’s usage permission policy and proper citation
Remember that self-plagiarism is still plagiarism
