Publication ethics and journal policies – how to publish in scientific journals

Organizer: Kazuki Tsuji (Univ. Ryukyus)

Manuscript submissions to scientific journals in Asia are steadily increasing in ecological sciences, as in many other disciplines. However, the chance of a manuscript from Asia being accepted, particularly in a major journal, remains relatively low. We proposed this forum to discuss some of the issues surrounding the low acceptance rate. From the editorial perspective, one of the key factors to increase the chances of acceptance is for authors to strictly adhere to manuscript submission guidelines that cover a wide range of requirements from simple formatting instructions to avoiding simultaneous submission to multiple journals. The forum will also consider publication ethics including clear scientific misconduct such as plagiarism. We will illustrate why maintaining high ethical standards benefits the authors as well as the broader scientific community.
