Publication Ethics

Journal of Breast Cancer Case Reports is a reputable publication that focuses on the presentation of rare and unique cases of breast cancer. As with any scientific journal, it upholds strict publication ethics to ensure the integrity and quality of the articles it publishes.

Some key aspects of publication ethics that the Journal of Breast Cancer Case Reports follows include:

1. Plagiarism: The journal takes plagiarism very seriously and expects authors to submit original work that has not been published elsewhere. Proper citation and acknowledgment of sources are essential to maintain integrity.

2. Authorship: The journal requires that all individuals who have made significant contributions to the research and preparation of the article are listed as authors. Any conflicts of interest or financial disclosures should also be declared.

3. Data Integrity: The journal expects authors to present accurate and reliable data. Fabrication, falsification, or manipulation of data is strictly prohibited.

4. Informed Patient Consent: Any article that contains personal medical information about an identifiable living individual requires the patient's explicit consent before we can publish it. If consent cannot be obtained because the patient cannot be traced, then publication will be possible only if the information can be sufficiently anonymised. Anonymisation means that neither the patient nor anyone else could identify the patient.

5. Peer Review: The journal follows a rigorous peer-review process, where experts in the field evaluate the scientific merit and validity of the submitted articles. This helps ensure the quality and validity of the published work.

By adhering to these publication ethics, the Journal of Breast Cancer Case Reports maintains its reputation as a reliable source of information for healthcare professionals and researchers interested in breast cancer-related cases.
