Ethical Guidelines for Publications of Research

The Publications Committee has been keenly aware of the importance of formulating and disseminating rules of good conduct for authors, reviewers, and editors. Equally important is the establishment of due process for alleged or apparent improprieties. The Council of The Endocrine Society has approved the following Ethical Guidelines as prepared by the Publications Committee and has authorized periodic publication as well as distribution to members of our Editorial Boards, reviewers, and authors submitting manuscripts. The following statement is not meant to be all inclusive but is provided in sufficient detail to give a clear understanding of ethical considerations to all concerned.

The Publications Committee

The Endocrine Society wishes to remind all of its members of the rules of good conduct as they apply to research and its publication. The fundamentals are honesty, fairness, good manners, and the subordination of self-interest to the common interest of our profession and of society. In these notes, the Publication Committee sets forth its rules of good conduct for authors, reviewers and editors.
