When preparing a manuscript for submission to an academic journal, scientists must follow detailed guidelines on the structure and format of the manuscript. However, scientists sometimes overlook the ethical issues that surround the submission of a manuscript and are caught off guard by unexpected requests.

Based on more than 30 years of service helping Japanese authors write and publish manuscripts in major journals around the world, this seminar will provide practical advice on important ethical issues to help you avoid unexpected delays
and even ensure that your manuscript is published in an ethical journal.
