Authors are expected to ensure the accuracy of their papers. The publisher accepts no responsibility for statements made by authors in written papers. Where relevant, authors are to ensure that the contents of their papers are cleared for publication by, for example, their employer, their client, the funding organization, and/or the copyright owner of any material which is reproduced. Authors retain the copyright to their papers.

Plagiarism

Authors must not use the words, figures, or ideas of others without attribution. Authors must obtain written permission to include figures or other graphics from other sources. All sources must be cited at the point they are used, and reuse of wording must be limited and be attributed or quoted in the text. Articles that are found to have been plagiarised from a manuscript by other authors, whether published or unpublished, will be rejected. Any published articles found to contain the work of other writers without appropriate and transparent attribution may need to be corrected or retracted.

Ethics

The aims of the journal are to encourage discussion, to initiate changes where they are needed, and to provide practical guidance—in the form of Best Practice statements—to inform those changes. Academic publishing depends, to a great extent, on trust. Editors trust peer reviewers to provide fair assessments; authors trust editors to select appropriate peer reviewers; and readers put their trust in the peer-review process. Good decisions and strong editorial processes designed to manage these interests will foster a sustainable and efficient publishing system, which will benefit academic societies, journal editors, authors, researchers, research funders, readers, and publishers.
