Open Forum on Overcoming Unethical Publishing Practices (Please see also: Main Topics & symposia.htm)
The conference will also include an
Open Forum on "Overcoming
Unethical Publishing Practices", where an expert panel
with over 100 years of collective and active research and education experience
will address the obligations of publishers and authors with ethical practices in
publishing their work.
Unethical or suspicious publishing (sometimes
known as predatory) is an opportunistic publishing technique
that exploits the academic need to publish but offers little
reward to those who use their services.
The academic "publish or perish"
scenario combined with the relative ease of website creation
has inadvertently created a market ripe for the exploitation
of academic authors. Some publishers are unethical on
purpose, while others may make mistakes due to neglect,
mismanagement, or inexperience. In this forum, the following aspects will be addressed: - multiple submission - plagiarism - authorship issues - conflicts of interest - duplicate publication and salami slicing All delegates are invited to participate in this forum. |
