Publication ethics: The editor-author relationship
Publication is considered the end point of the research project. New scientific results may be assessed, corrected and further developed by the scientific community only if they are published. Guidelines on responsible research and publication are now set, to encourage and promote high ethical standards in the conduct of research and in biomedical publications. They address various aspects of the research and publishing including duties of editors and authorship determination. This paper brings a short survey of editor-author relationship in the process of publication.
