Topic: Journal publishing
If you were asked to edit a series of articles, how would you apply publication ethics to possible problems of authorship?
This topic is designed to help you improve:
- your understanding of the ethical obligations of editors and publishers internationally

In this topic, case studies let you work out what you should do, as the chief editor, editorial board member or publisher of a scholarly journal, when you are faced with manuscripts that have problems of attribution, consent, duplication and related aspects of academic integrity.
