ARTICLE 1 (PURPOSE)

The purpose of these regulations is to establish and observe research (Clinical or Basic) ethics for research papers submitted to the Clinics in Shoulder and Elbow (CiSE).

ARTICLE 2 (RESEARCHER ETHICS)

Researchers should be honest about their research. Researchers need to have a high ethical standard at all times during the research, in areas such as receiving funds for research, publishing research results, and fairly compensating participants. More specifically, research papers that are forged, altered, plagiarized, overlapped, and/or dishonest cannot be published either online or in journals and are not eligible for research funds.

1. Forgery, Alteration, Plagiarism

Forgery (Fabrication): making up data or research results that do not exist.

Alteration (Falsification): fabricating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing/deleting research results intentionally to distort research contents or results.

Plagiarism: using others’ ideas, research (process and contents), and/or results without proper authorization or citation.

2. Only Original Contribution That Has Not Been Previously Published or Submitted Elsewhere Can Be Submitted

  • (1) Submissions are accepted only when they are not submitted elsewhere and have not been published elsewhere. All or part of manuscripts that are already published or submitted to Intestinal Research can’t publish in any other publication without permission of editorial board.
  • 2) Multiple or duplicate publication is only limited to review article or publication with other language. Otherwise multiple or duplicate publication can be allowed after a review from the Publication Council, if it is qualified under the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly work in Medical Journals (http://www.icmje.org/ recommendations/) and also after receiving approval from both journals.
  • (3) The Society does not accept any divided or salami manuscripts.
  • (4) Misconduct or any other ethical violation will be judged (decided) on final deliberation by Editorial Board.

3. Overlapped Publication and Dishonest Research

Publishing research papers that contain the same or similar contents to that which were/are published in other journals or books, or publishing research papers that are/were published in other journals or books.

Wrongful research paper author indication: either refusing to grant a qualification to publish (without proper reasons) to a person who contributed to science and/or technology with his/ her research contents or results, or granting qualification to publish to a person who did not contribute to science and/or technology because of a wish to express appreciation or honor.

Authors must state that the protocol for the research project has been approved by a suitably constituted Ethics Committee (Human or Animal) of the institution within which the work was undertaken and that it conforms to the provisions of the Declaration of Helsinki, available at http://www.wma.net/en/30publications/10policies/b3/.

Details are as follows:

  • (1) Researchers should fully explain the purpose and methods of research as well as any possible mental and physical harm that could occur during research participation. If he/she is to publish the research results, he/she has to indicate that on the paper.
  • (2) Researchers cannot write down participants’ names or initials. In case of possible disclosure of participants’ identification through pictures of face or anything similar, researchers should receive written informed consent from the participants or their guardians.
  • (3) Researchers should receive an approval from Institutional Review Board and indicate it on the paper if one wishes to publish the research results.
  • (4) This journal follows the data sharing policy described in “Data Sharing Statements for Clinical Trials: A Requirement of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors”. The ICMJE’s policy regarding trial registration is explained at http://www.icmje.org/recommendations/browse/publishing-andeditorial-issues/clinical-trial-registration.html#two. Any research that deals with clinical trial should be registered to the primary national clinical trial registration site such as http://cris.nih.go.kr, or other sites accredited by WHO or ICMJE. If the data sharing plan changes after registration this should be reflected in the statement submitted and published with the manuscript, and updated in the registry record.

If a research object is animal, researchers should follow these general rules:

  • (1) Researchers should indicate what he/she did to minimize the pain or discomfort that experiment subjects went through.
  • (2) Researchers should indicate that he/she did not violate NIH guideline (NIH Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals).
  • (3) When necessary, the Society can ask for a written consent and an approval letter issued by Animal Ethics Committee.
