Publication ethics refers to the set of principles that guide the responsible conduct of research and the dissemination of findings. It emphasizes the importance of honesty, integrity, and transparency in the publication process. Researchers must ensure that their work is original, properly attributed, and free from plagiarism. Additionally, publication ethics involves the fair treatment of all contributors and the need for peer review to maintain quality. Journals and publishers are expected to uphold these standards, ensuring that conflicts of interest are disclosed and that the research is conducted ethically, respecting the rights of participants and the integrity of the scientific community.
