Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper aims to summarize and analyze the ethical policies of international academic publishers and thereby propose suggestions for ethics construction of Chinese scientific journals. [Methods] With the methods of literature research, textual analysis, and content analysis, we recorded and interpreted the content on publishing ethics on official websites of five major international publishers, and analyzed it on the basis of normative ethics, to clarify the attitudes of the publishers toward publishing ethics and dynamic adjustment of ethics-related policies. [Findings] The ethical policies of the publishers cover the whole publishing process, which explicitly stipulate the responsibilities and obligations of authors, editors, and peer reviewers. Moreover, they are tailored to the latest publishing models, with corresponding feedback and error correction mechanisms. [Conclusions] With reference to the international ethics construction experience, Chinese scientific journals should improve ethics guidance services, emphasize ethical review under the changing publishing mode, and strengthen the warning and punishment on academic misconducts.
