ABSTRACT
Ethics and Scientific Misconduct
Adrian K Dixon
Department of Radiology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Sadly around 10% of all submissions contain serious flaws, which have been
not fully alluded to by the authors. A smaller percentage of submissions are
deliberately fraudulent.
The Committee on Publication Ethics - COPE (www.publicationethics.org.uk)
has pointed out many of the things that authors should beware of and that
editors, referees and institutions should be on the look out for. The various
workers that constitute COPE have made substantial improvements to the
integrity of research data and should be congratulated on their considerable
contribution to the research literature.
In essence, their guidelines cannot be improved upon and come down to the
following issues. These will be discussed in turn:
Study design and ethical approval
Data analysis
Authorship
Conflicts of Interest
Peer review
Redundant publication
Plagiarism
Duties of editors
Media relations
Advertising
Dealing with misconduct.
