2. The writing and critical revision of the text for important intellectual content. It is the Notes
responsibility of the first author not only to submit manuscripts to JIMS but also to ensure
that all authors approve of the exact final wording of all submitted manuscripts.
Acquisition of funding, collection of data, or general supervision of the research group, alone,
does not justify authorship. All persons designated as authors should qualify for authorship,
and all those who qualify should be listed. Each author should have participated sufficiently in
the work to take public responsibility for appropriate portions of the content. The order of
authorship should be a joint decision of the co-authors. Authors should be prepared to explain
the order in which authors are listed. All contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship
should be listed in an acknowledgments section. Examples of those who might be acknowledged
include a person who provided purely technical help, writing assistance, or a department chair
that provided only general support. Financial and material support should also be acknowledged.
Because readers may infer their endorsement of the data and conclusions, all persons must give
written permission to be acknowledged.
Public trust in the peer review process and the credibility of published articles depend in part on
how well conflict of interest is handled during writing, peer review, and editorial decision
making. Conflict of interest exists when an author (or the author’s institution), reviewer, or
editor has financial or personal relationships that inappropriately influence (bias) his or her
actions (such relationships are also known as dual commitments, competing interests, or
competing loyalties). These relationships vary from those with negligible potential to those
with great potential to influence judgment, and not all relationships represent true conflict of
interest. The potential for conflict of interest can exist whether or not an individual believes that
the relationship affects his or her scientific judgment. Financial relationships (such as
employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony) are the most
easily identifiable conflicts of interest and the most likely to undermine the credibility of the
journal, the authors, and of science itself. However, conflicts can occur for other reasons, such as
personal relationships, academic competition, and intellectual passion. All participants in the
peer review and publication process must disclose all relationships that could be viewed as
presenting a potential conflict of interest. Disclosure of these relationships is also important in
connection with editorials and review articles, because it is can be more difficult to detect bias in
these types of publications than in reports of original research. Editors may use information
disclosed in conflict of interest and financial interest statements as a basis for editorial decisions.
Editors should publish this information if they believe it is important in judging the manuscript.
