A COMPLETE GUIDE TO
CONDUCTING & PUBLISHING RESEARCH
ETHICALLY
,Dear reader,
The topic of research ethics is important not only when conducting research but also when pub-
lishing it. It is one of the crucial pillars for maintaining scientific integrity and credibility. The onus
to implement fair practices lies with researchers, universities/institutions, and publishers.
Through this ebook, we intend to provide a concise yet comprehensive resource to graduate
students and early-stage researchers. We have identified common areas where researchers often
face doubts and challenges. We have shared insights on popular topics such as how to assign
authorship, how to avoid image manipulation and plagiarism, how to manage research data
effectively, or how to identify conflicts of interests. This ebook will provide you with ample tips
for effectively handling all such situations.
Towards the end, you will also find a list of authentic e-resources. It would be our pleasure to
help you with your publishing requirements. Please make it a point to visit enago.com/academy
for further help. We have posted 1,000+ original articles on this knowledge e-platform.
Happy reading!
