Ethical deception and fraud in scientific publications not only casts doubt on the integrity of science, but also weakens public support. Research results are published with the names of all individuals who have carried out the research. Although there are variations depending on the fields of study, the general rule is that everyone who has substantially contributed to the research and publication are given credit as authors. Activities such as obtaining funding, language editing, technical editing, or administrative support do not qualify an individual for authorship. However, despite clear guidelines, forms of ethical misconduct such as granting authorship to those who fail to meet the authorship criteria, omission of deserving authors from the author list and making inappropriate and unjustifiable modifications to the author list are prevalent. One way to solve these problems would be to determine and document the list and order of authors, and require the signatures of all authors in the planning stage, even before starting to do the research and write the manuscript.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAuthorship EthicsPublication EthicsMisappropriation Of AuthorshipAuthorship RightsResponsibility Of AuthorshipArticle303501506N/AWOS:000393288800009204978
