Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the key issues involved in publication ethics, with a particular focus and emphasis on journal publishing. Publication ethics and its place on the continuum with research ethics/research integrity is explored. Particular examples of violations of publication ethics are identified and examined. As well, the various stakeholders who contribute to the research project and the end product of research in its dissemination are analyzed. There is discussion about the various types of responsible conduct and accountability. Educational needs are explored, and the chapter concludes with a discussion of the importance of mutuality, collaboration, and joint effort in addressing the complex issues of research and publication ethics.
