The Office of Research Integrity of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services has published a guide to ethical writing to help students, as well as professionals, identify and prevent questionable practices and to develop an awareness of ethical writing.

We found it interesting to disseminate the module “Avoiding plagiarism, self-plagiarism, and other questionable writing practices: A guide to ethical writing” to our authors and reviewers.

The first chapter “26 Guidelines at a Glance” provides a quick summary of ORI’s ethical guidelines.
