“…TSRs for protecting research integrity [50] This TSR, covering ethical principles and scientific misconduct, applies at all career stages, from HS to retirement: It supplies advice, reminders, and summaries of best practices at the levels of both individuals (e.g., coauthorship practices) and institutions (e.g., whistleblower policies).…”

“…Previous studies reflecting on some of these changes have been viewed through narrow disciplinary lenses. [9][10][11] Three key overarching issues affecting all disciplines and types of data are discussed here. It is notable that none of the existing national and international ethics guidelines explicitly consider all the factors discussed here.…”

Globally, ethics guidelines for conducting research involving human subjects have been informed by practices and procedures developed for, and with reference to, medical research. 1,2 This indication is clear from international guidelines on research ethics practices, including the Belmont Report 3 and the Declaration of Helsinki 4. Historically, developments of guidelines in research ethics, and procedures for ethics review, have often been reactive responses to critical events (i.e. ethics breaches) in medical research practice. The context for research ethics and clinical practice changes continually owing to developments in technology and medical procedures including genetics and robotics. Thus, ethics guidelines for research involving human subjects often lag behind developments in technology and medical science. Despite such guidelines, there are limitations as to the extent to which they can be applied to research that involves human subjects but in non-medical and non-therapeutic settings (here termed human participants). In this context, the term non-medical refers to the application of social science and humanities methodologies and instruments relating to human participants outside of medical, clinical or therapeutic settings. This type of research includes data collection using qualitative and interactive methods, such as interviews, questionnaires, workshops, focus groups and ethnographic observations. Based on the foregoing, it is appropriate to ask whether national and global guidelines on research ethics involving human participants are fit for purpose, because (1) these guidelines have been developed mainly for medical rather than non-medical research and (2) they do not speak to the specific methods of data collection and analysis, and the nature of risk and vulnerability, used in many areas of the social sciences and humanities. The important point is that new research instruments and participant groups now available to social science researchers may give rise to new types of ethical issues related to confidentiality, anonymity, privacy and consent that are not covered by existing guidelines.

“…A detailed description of the performed procedures should be universally accessible and easily acceptable. As a particular objective is responsible for raising so many scientifi c aims consequently affecting the entire world, publications should be comprehensive, truthful, correct, and fair and should not give deceptive information (Titus et al 2008;Shaw and Erren 2015;Resnik and Shamoo 2017).…”

A research effort actually comes in to effect when it is published and becomes available to the scientifi c community; however, publishing it after following the required ethics is an equal challenge. Since last few years, a number of agencies specifi cally medical organizations and publishing editors have released several guidelines to resolve the issues regarding the confl icts related to publications and resolve the issues. In this communication we provide the required guidelines about publication ethics in a simple form so that they can be easily followed. This article may contribute towards spreading the awareness in the researchers regarding publication ethics may diminish the research misconduct.
