Publishing Ethics

"Reflection" requires high quality original research works and therefore it is important to agree certain ethical measures.

Originality of the work: The authors should ensure that they have written original work. If the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

Accuracy: Authors of papers that report on original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper.

Plagiarism: Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical behaviour and is unacceptable. The journal reserves the right to use plagiarism detecting software to screen submitted papers at all times.

Disclosure of financial support and conflicts of interest: All financial support for the research and the paper writing process should be disclosed in the acknowledgments and any conflicts of interest should be stated.

Redundant or concurrent publication: Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical behaviour and is unacceptable.
