Usually publications have their rules or codes. Perhaps in the matter of following an ethics of publication and editing is in respect to copyright, respect for the sources, which must be duly expressed. The originality and be transparent and clear both in the syntax and in the presentation of the method and the results. I recommend that you review publications from various disciplines, it will help you to see the common aspects of each discipline.

Acknowledging of the already existing literature so as to avoid plagiarism, Ensuring coauthors have played a significant role during research period, analysis of data and at the time of development of the manuscript and revising so as one to qualify to be the coauthor and avoiding of publishing forged or stolen work.
