Ethics reminder!

During the initial assessment of your submission, journal editors want to know that you have complied with basic ethics. 

Show the editor clearly that: 

• you haven’t submitted the manuscript to any other journal
• your results are original and unpublished
• all the authors agree with submission to the journal 
• any conflicts of interests are clearly identified 
• you have disclosed your funding source(s)
• all the authors satisfy authorship criteria
• you have completed all journal forms (e.g., relating to ethics of human/animal studies, copyright transfer, permission to reuse material)
