Abstract

The growing importance of scientific publications of quality, their impact on society in general and on authors´ processes of scientific recognition, as well as journals needing to have international impact may increase the number of conflicts of interests among editors, authors and reviewers of scientific publications. The aim of this article is to review recommendations of existing ethics codes. In the future, they may be used to investigate the degree of observance in the different scientific fields. Major international initiatives, promoting entities and specific recommendations made to the different agents of the process are analyzed. The review reveals that the degree of awareness against the ethics of the publications in each science and country depends on tradition, associations, consolidations and the degree of internationalization of the journals that make up each scientific field.
