Traditionally the province of rogue individuals, academic misconduct has entered a new era in which third parties are exploiting submission loopholes to manipulate the peer review process. Consequently, authors should be aware that not all editorial service providers operate within the bounds of accepted ethical standards. In reaction, the editorial services industry is launching a new initiative to institute operational guidelines for editorial service providers.

The EQUATOR Network and research reporting guidelines: What does it mean for authors?

Submitting compelling and novel content to a journal is only one element in having an article accepted for publication. The presentation and organization of your manuscript is essential in convincing editors and reviewers that your work has been thoroughly prepared and able to withstand scrutiny. To that end, The EQUATOR Network compiles research reporting guidelines to “improve the reliability and value of published health research literature.” The use of reporting guidelines not only improves the value of research, but also provides some distinct advantages in getting your manuscript published.
