Ghostwriting

Guidelines on Authorship in Scholarly Publications

 

To discourage ghostwriting and guest authorship, the editors of the journal will implement the following procedures.

 

(1) The editors require authors of publications to disclose each author's contribution to the publication, with the primary responsibility resting with the author submitting the manuscript.

 

(2) "Ghost writing" and "guest authorship" are considered to be manifestations of scholarly dishonesty.

 

(3) In case of ambiguity, the Editorial Board requires information about the sources of funding of the publication, contributions from scientific research institutions, associations and other entities ("financial disclosure").
