Publication Ethics

1 report
Publication Ethics is an ethics framework for weighing research goals against consent, fairness, welfare, accountability, and potential harm. Its operation is documented through justice requirement, accountability, and risk benefit balance, while implementation and enforcement determine whether stated goals are met.

Work involving Publication Ethics is reported through measured outcomes; open questions; and risk and benefit. The analysis begins with case analysis for risk and benefit, and uses professional guidance to identify where the explanation succeeds or fails; the evidence is read with the caveat that reasonable values can conflict even when the underlying facts are agreed.
