Why Ethical Issues are Important • Rates of detection are low but violations, especially less serious infractions, are considered prevalent • Compliance review and other ethical requirements are increasing (e.g., human subjects committees) • Ethical violations affect the quality and integrity of science

  7. Ethical Issues: Authors’ Seven Deadly Sins

  8. The Seven Deadly Sins: Journal Author Declarations • Authorship Statement – Declaration of substantive contribution signed by all authors • Conflict of Interest Statement – Declaration of real and apparent Conflicts of Interest, in language comprehensible to average reader, signed by all authors • Redundant Publication Statement – Declaration that the work has not been published previously in whole or in part • Human/animal subjects Statement – Declaration that the study was reviewed by an Ethical Review Committee • Duplicate submissions - Declaration that the work has not been published, or is not being considered for publication, by another journal

  9. Integrity in Research Publishing • Intellectual honesty in reporting research • Accuracy in representing contributions of other scientists • Collegiality in scientific interactions, including communications and sharing of information • Transparency in conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest • Protection of human subjects in the conduct of research • Humane care of animals in the conduct of research • Adherence to the mutual authorship responsibilities between investigators and their research teams. Adapted from Institute of Medicine (2002)

Gender inequities with regard to research questions, research participants, scientific workforce, and journal decision-making • Recent initiatives to address gender in science.
