Published scientific research breeds the development of clinical management guidelines and pathways. Currently, scholarly proficiency is assessed using numerous primitive metrics for incentives that can kindle publication of hoax or flawed research content. Such flawed data can lead to wastage of resources, time, and most importantly harm to the society. Authors, editors, and peer reviewers need to be genuine in conducting, analyzing, and publication of scientific research. Institutions need to be aware and utilize advanced metrics to assess the scientific reputation of researchers. This short review discusses in brief the common authorship and editorial ethical issues encountered in scientific publication and the newer metrics available for the assessment of scholarly excellence. Editors and peer reviewers need to be acquainted with the common ethical issues and follow consensus international guidelines on publication ethics to tackle them appropriately.
已发表的科学研究推动了临床管理指南和路径的发展。目前，学术水平是通过众多原始指标来评估的，这些指标用于激励可能引发虚假或有缺陷研究内容发表的行为。此类有缺陷的数据可能导致资源、时间的浪费，最重要的是对社会造成危害。作者、编辑和同行评审人员在进行、分析和发表科学研究时需要秉持诚信。各机构需要意识到并利用先进指标来评估研究人员的学术声誉。这篇简短的综述简要讨论了科学出版中常见的作者署名和编辑伦理问题，以及可用于评估学术卓越性的新指标。编辑和同行评审人员需要熟悉常见的伦理问题，并遵循国际出版伦理共识指南来妥善处理这些问题。
