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.

Counteracting the phenomena of ghostwriting, guest authorship and violations of scientific ethics and copyrights

In order to counteract unethical phenomena of ghostwriting (not mentioned co-author of the publication), guest authorship (co-author has made a negligible contribution to the publication) and violations of scientific ethics and copyrights, the editorial staff presents the following rules:

  • the principal author of the publication (the author submitting the publication) is responsible for the fair determination and disclosure of the affiliation of all co-authors and their contribution to the work, the role and percentage share of all co-authors and the ownership of the copyright in the materials contained in the publication,
  • when submitting a paper for publication, the principal author of the publication, in consultation with all co-authors, should provide information on the sources of funding of the publication, the contribution to the creation of publications of individual institutions to which the authors are affiliated, and persons, universities, institutes and other entities (such as scientific societies, associations and others),
  • the principal author of the publication and the co-authors are responsible for the observance of scientific ethics and good manners in their publication, as well as for not infringing the copyrights of third parties,
  • it is a good practice to include in the publication thanks to all persons and institutions that have contributed to the work,
  • the submission of an article for publication is tantamount to ensuring that authors meet all the above requirements concerning scientific ethics and legal compliance.

The editorial staff informs that the above mentioned phenomena of ghostwriting, guest authorship and copyright infringement are unethical and constitute a manifestation of scientific unreliability, and any detected cases will be disclosed, documented and reported to relevant institutions and organizations.
