Counteracting ghostwriting, guest authorship and infringements of scientific ethics and copyrights
In order to counteract the unethical phenomena of ghostwriting (an unnamed co-author of a publication), guest authorship (a co-author has made a negligible contribution to the publication) and violations of scientific ethics and copyright, the editors outline the following principles:
- the lead author of a publication (the author submitting the publication) is responsible for accurately ascertaining and disclosing the affiliations of all co-authors and their contributions to the work, the role and percentage of ownership of all co-authors, and the ownership of copyright in the material contained in the publication,
- when submitting a manuscript for publication, the main author of the publication, in agreement with all co-authors, should provide information on the sources of funding of the publication, the contribution to the publication of the various institutions to which the authors are affiliated and the individuals, universities, institutes and other bodies (such as scientific societies, associations and others),
- the principal author of the publication and the co-authors are responsible for observing the principles of scientific ethics and good morals in their publication and for not infringing the copyright of third parties,
- dobrym obyczajem zalecanym przez redakcję jest zamieszczenie w publikacji podziękowań dla wszystkich osób i instytucji, które przyczyniły się do powstania pracy,
- By submitting an article for publication, authors guarantee that they have fulfilled all the above requirements concerning scientific ethics and compliance with the law.
The editors inform that the above-mentioned phenomena of ghostwriting, guest authorship and copyright infringement are unethical and constitute a manifestation of scientific dishonesty, and any detected cases will be disclosed, documented and reported to the relevant institutions and organisations.
