International Journal of Medical Sciences (IJMS) Guidelines on Ethical Conduct and Publication of Health Research

Abstract

Published on the following pages are the AAJMS Guidelines on Ethical Conduct and Publication of Health Research. They are also available on the AAJMS webpage (www.ps.aaosjournal.com).  These Guidelines set out key issues related to research and publication ethics and AAJMS expectations of papers submitted for possible publication. They are intended as a reference for both authors and reviewers.

           AAJMS endeavours to maintain the highest ethical standards for the articles it publishes. In order to do so, the Journal follows established international standards and guidelines on the conduct and publication of health research including: World Medical Association’s Declaration of Helsinki; the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS); the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE); the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE); and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME).

These guidelines explain the AAJMS’s position on specific ethical aspects of the conduct and reporting of research. They provide authors with guidance on the ethical standards they are expected to conform to in their papers submitted for consideration for publication, and outline AAJMS’s procedures if standards are breached.
