"Blackwell Publishing, the world's leading partner for societies, 
announced the launch of their Best Practice Guidelines on 
Publication Ethics: A Publisher's Perspective, becoming the first 
publisher to offer such a comprehensive resource to its journal 
editors and society partners.

The guidelines were created to provide practical advice to 
editors on the major ethical principles of academic publishing 
and to help inform the editorial policies of their journals. A 
broad range of topics are addressed including transparency, 
disclosure, research integrity, peer review, conflicts of 
interest and plagiarism. The guidelines also include an extensive 
Best Practice resource to help editors develop their own 
approaches to publication ethics as well as detailed flowcharts 
about how to handle ethical situations provided by the Committee 
on Publication Ethics."
