Where this comes from

Abstract

The medical literature serves a critical role in the translation of evidence into practice. Although the ethics of research conduct receive considerable attention, much less attention has been focused on the ethics of the publication process. Given how important the process is to the advancement of medicine, this oversight seems unfortunate. This article reviews several salient ethical challenges from the perspective of two editors of a pediatric journal.
