Journals provide instructions to prospective authors to facilitate the process of manuscript publication. The information provided under such instructions could be a potential opportunity to promote responsible conduct of research (RCR). We analyzed 74 Indian biomedical journals for the type of information provided in the "instructions to authors" section and adherence to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) recommendations. Among the 71 journals that had an "instructions to authors" section, 53 journals adhered to ICMJE recommendations. We discuss sections of the ICMJE recommendations detailed by Indian biomedical journals under the "instructions to authors" section and emphasize components that require greater exposure.
期刊会向潜在作者提供指南,以促进稿件发表流程。此类指南中提供的信息可能是促进科研诚信行为(RCR)的潜在机会。我们分析了74种印度生物医学期刊中“作者须知”部分提供的信息类型以及对国际医学期刊编辑委员会(ICMJE)建议的遵循情况。在设有“作者须知”部分的71种期刊中,有53种期刊遵循了ICMJE的建议。我们讨论了印度生物医学期刊在“作者须知”部分详细阐述的ICMJE建议的各个部分,并强调了需要更多关注的内容。
