Publication ethics refer to the moral principles and guidelines that govern the publishing process to ensure integrity and accountability. This includes avoiding plagiarism (copying others’ work), ensuring authorship is accurately represented, and disclosing conflicts of interest. It also requires researchers to conduct and report their studies honestly and transparently, allowing for reproducibility and verification. By adhering to these ethics, the academic community fosters trust, upholds the quality of information, and advances knowledge responsibly, benefitting society as a whole.
