PUBLICATION ETHICS: FRAUD AND MISCONDUCT

Date: 5 November 2014

Venue: West One, 9-10 Portland Place, London, W1B 1PR

 

OVERVIEW

A wide range of ethical issues can arise in academic publishing. These can be caused by misbehaving authors (e.g. committing plagiarism or fraud), by abuse of editorial positions and also by conflicts between publishers’ and societies’ commercial interests and principles of editorial freedom and integrity. This course will cover how to effectively detect and deal with possible misconduct and show the importance of having sound ethical policies. While the principles and theories covered are applicable across most publication types, some issues covered will be particularly relevant to journals publishing.
