International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)

The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) is a group of editors and experts that develop guidelines to improve the quality, transparency, and integrity of medical research published in journals. Their standards help ensure research is reported honestly, ethically, and consistently. They also set rules for authorship, conflicts of interest, and how clinical trials should be registered and disclosed. By establishing these guidelines, the ICMJE promotes trustworthiness and helps advance medical knowledge responsibly.
