Ethics-in-Action

promoting greater ethical transparency, reflection, and critique in the academic journal publishing process

We are inviting all Editors of journals to be a part of our simple yet effective change, which – if widely adopted – could be the start of a more profound paradigm shift in how academic discourse is conducted.

There is a current lack of emphasis given to Ethical Discoveries within academic journal articles. We have a solution: we want to get as many journals as possible to adjust their abstract guidelines to require authors to include a heading/statement ‘Ethical Insights’. This sentence should clearly articulate any ethical considerations, discoveries or achievements made during the study. More information coming soon.
