Resource of the Week #43: Some Ethics Resources from Publishers

Hello again. This week I’m pleased to introduce more resources on publication ethics. These resources come from publishers of journals.

Some of these publishers are publishing companies, and others are professional organizations for which journal publishing is one activity. A British researcher mentioned these resources in a post to the e-mail discussion list of the World Association of Medical Editors.

Each of these resources is designed to help one or more of the following groups: authors, editors, and peer reviewers. To find ethics resources from the publishers listed below, click on the links. After each publisher’s name, I’ve listed the main audiences of the resources.

• American Chemical Society (authors, editors, reviewers)
• American Physiological Society (authors, editors, reviewers)
• American Society of Plant Biologists (authors, editors, reviewers)
• Elsevier (editors)
• Nature Publishing Group (authors, reviewers)
• Royal Society (authors)
• Springer (editors)
• Taylor & Francis (authors, editors, reviewers)
• Wiley-Blackwell (authors, editors)

Do you know of publication-ethics resources from other publishers of journals? If so, please let us know. You can do so either by posting a comment or by sending me a message through the AuthorAID website.

Until the next post— Barbara
