Editor insights: Exploring publishing ethics in academia

What the event covered

In today’s academic publishing environment, understanding the principles of publishing ethics is more important than ever. Taylor & Francis hosted two of our editors, Assoc Prof. David Hundt, Deputy Editor of Asian Studies Review and Assoc Prof. Wendy Imlach, Section Editor of Journal of Pain Research.

In this session, Consulting Editor Manager Shay O’Neill took us through topics such as authorship, key ethical declarations, competing interests, duplicate submissions, and plagiarism. Our guests discussed common ethical issues they’ve encountered, how the publishing landscape has evolved within their fields, and offered expert advice in an interactive panel discussion.
