Instructions for Authors

General information  

 

Scientific Quartely INTERCATHEDRA publishes original scientific articles in Polish and English.  

 

GHOSTWRITING AND GUEST AUTHORSHIP FIREWALL 

 

The editors take action to eliminate ghostwriting and guest authorship practices. When detected, all such cases will be disclosed, including the possibility to send due notification to relevant entities (institutions employing authors, scientific societies, scientific editors associations, etc.). The editors also document all forms of violation and infringement of ethics in science. 

An act of ghostwriting occurs when a person who makes a significant contribution to the writing of a publication does not reveal their participation as one of the authors or their input is not listed in the acknowledgements in the publication.

An act of guest authorship (honorary authorship) occurs when the author’s or co-author’s contribution to the publication is negligible or has not taken place at all. 

In order to avoid such cases the Editors require that each author’s input in the publication should be revealed (including their affiliation and contribution, i.e. providing information about the author(s) of the concept, assumptions, methods, protocol, etc. used for preparation of the publication). It is the corresponding author who takes main responsibility.  

If the publication is financed by scientific research institutions, associations or other entities, it is necessary to provide information about the source of financing (financial disclosure).
