The Alexander Journal adheres to the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, created by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA), and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME).
Although there is no universal definition, authorship creates a record of attribution and establishes accountability and responsibility concerning the work. Therefore, authorship should be limited to and should not exclude those who have made a significant contribution to the concept, design, and execution of the paper.
For multiple authors, please choose one author to be designated as the “Corresponding Author.” This individual will be listed first and will be the primary point of contact with the Editors.
To avoid disputes over attribution of authorship, it is helpful to decide at the start who will be credited as authors and who as contributors. In the case of multiple authors, each should be able to identify their specific contribution to the work. The award of authorship should reflect the amount of intellectual contribution. Those who have made limited contributions should be named in the acknowledgments section.
All authors must agree to the publication of the article and take public responsibility for the full content of their paper.
The Corresponding Author should ensure that all co-authors of the work have approved the content of articles and presentations.
This content was adapted from the Committee on Publication Ethics, specifically the COPE Discussion Document: Authorship and How to Handle Authorship Disputes: A Guide for New Researchers.
The Alexander Journal requires authors and researchers to conform to the Declaration of Helsinki, The Nuremberg Code.
To conform to these standards, authors must obtain signatory forms signed by all participants, author(s), and researchers, and have said forms available upon request.
If you have further questions on research ethics, please consult the COPE website or contact the Editors at thealexanderjournal@gmail.com.
