Publishers Authors are advised to go through these ethics firmly, as mentioned here under:
The preparation of data and results and issues of intellectual property theft and plagiarism are strictly against ethical standards. Information sourced from various media should only be included in the manuscript with prior permission from the original owner of the information or data.
Authors must accurately cite all referenced works and verify that all necessary references are included before submitting the manuscript.
Authors and co-authors are expected to review and confirm the accuracy and validity of all results before submission. Any potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed to the editor beforehand.
Once an article is accepted for publication, all authors must promptly submit a copyright transfer form.
For reports involving human experimentation, a statement must be included verifying that the research complied with the relevant institutional review board and ethical standards.
The manuscript should contain a signed statement of informed consent to publish (online) any patient descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees identifying individuals, including minors, with permission obtained from parents or legal guardians. Such individuals should review the manuscript before submission.
Sharing scientific information from an accepted but unpublished paper or letter with the public, government agencies, or manufacturers violates many journals' policies.
