Dr. Mojtaba Parsa said in response to the recapture of about 5 articles from the faculty of Guilan University of Medical Sciences: Although there are problems, there is no major violation in these articles and should not be considered offenders.
He said: “The investigation shows that the reason for the Ritings by the International Wound Journal was mostly due to the policies and inadequate performance of the journal than in serious scientific violations by the authors.”
Reasons for declared rituals: arbitration and reference to spontaneous
The secretary of the State Committee on Ethics in Biological Research noted: These articles, which were mainly systematic reviews, have been reduced due to “compromised Peer Review” and “Excessive Self-Citation”.
He emphasized that it was not clear what the magazine’s “form of arbitration” is clear and that the reviews have not shown any of the fake referee’s introduction.
Unusual behavior of magazine and worrying statistics
According to him, statistical review shows that the magazine has risen a large number of published articles in recent months; For example, on March 2, out of 2 articles published, 2 articles and 2 of the 2 articles in February of that year, indicating a serious disruption to the policies of this journal.
Referring to self; Acceptable
Parsa noted that although referral to previous articles is acceptable on specialized topics, the high number of references can create a “irrational reference”.
The importance of training and selecting appropriate journal
The secretary of the National Committee of Ethics in Biological Research emphasized the need to familiarize faculty members with the principles of research and publishing and said: “Articles should be submitted to reputable journals and the authors refrain from focusing all of their articles in a journal.”
He also emphasized the need to participate in ethics workshops to prevent such events.
Should not be treated with a violation of the authors
Referring to the experiences of the Ethics Committee, he said: “In most cases, violations are inadvertent and ignorant and should not be considered a violation of the individual.
According to the Secretary of the State Committee on Ethics in Biological Research; In some cases, even personal motivations by reporters (whistles) have caused rhythm.
Warning about unrealistic writers in articles
At the end, Parsa emphasized a separate topic: The names of those who did not play a role in the research or writing of the article should not be included; This violation is one of the principles of publishing ethics and has serious consequences.
