Part II:
Health related journals and research articles: Identifying ethically conducted research

For a peer-reviewed journal, the
publication of articles plays an essential role in the development of the body
of knowledge. Therefore, it is essential that all publishers, editors, authors,
and reviewers, in the process of publishing the journals, conduct themselves in
accordance with the highest level of professional ethics and standards. Many
journals follow the recommendation of the Committee of Publication Ethics (Link
(Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) but many journals state
their ethical practices where an author would submit an article for
publication. Two of the most prestigious
journals are the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and the Journal of American
Medical Assoc.(JAMA).
