Ethical guidelines
When reporting experiments on human subjects, indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional or regional) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 (available at http://www.wma.net/e/policy/17-c_e.html). Do not use patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, especially in illustrative material. When reporting experiments on animals, indicate whether the institutions or a national research council's guide for, or any national law on the care and use of laboratory animals was followed. It is mandatory to mention the University/ Institutional ethical clearance registration number in the methodology section.
Publication Ethics
Ethical standards for publication exist to ensure high-quality scientific publications, public trust in scientific findings, and that people receive credit for their ideas. Journal of Pediatrics Review published by Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences is committed to publishing review articles; Systematic review with or without Meta-analysis, Narrative review, Case Report and Review the literatures and Letters to the Editor. So, it is important to avoid the following ethical violations.
Data Fabrication and Falsification
Data fabrication and falsification means the researcher did not actually do the study, but made up data or results and had recorded or reported the fabricated information. Data falsification means the researcher did the experiment, but manipulated, changed, or omitted data or results from the research findings. This would lead to public distrust and less willing to provide funding support.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is deliberately using someone else’s language, ideas, or other original material without acknowledging its source and without giving them credit. Copying even one sentence from someone else’s manuscript, or even one of your own that has previously been published, without proper citation is considered plagiarism-use your own words instead.
Simultaneous Submission
Simultaneous submission occurs when a manuscript (or substantial sections from a manuscript) is submitted to a journal when it is already under consideration by another journal.
Duplicate Publication
Duplicate publication occurs when two or more papers, without full cross referencing, share essentially the same hypotheses, data, discussion points, and conclusions.
Redundant Publications
Redundant publications involve the inappropriate division of study outcomes into several articles, most often consequent to the desire to plump academic vitae.
Improper Author Contribution or Attribution
All listed authors must have made a significant scientific contribution to the research in the manuscript and approved all its claims. Don’t forget to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution, including students and laboratory technicians.
Citation Manipulation
Citation Manipulation is including excessive citations, in the submitted manuscript, that do not contribute to the scholarly content of the article and have been included solely for the purpose of increasing citations to a given author’s work, or to articles published in a particular journal. This leads to misrepresenting the importance of the specific work and journal in which it appears and is thus a form of scientific misconduct. In the event that there are documented violations of any of the above mentioned policies in any journal, immediate rejection of the infringing manuscript will be applied.
Assurances
In appropriate places in the manuscript, please provide the following items:
If applicable, a statement that the research protocol was approved by the relevant institutional review boards or ethics committees and that all human participants gave written informed consent.
The identity of those who analyzed the data.
For studies containing microarrays, the accession numbers and repository name.
