Ghostwriting barrier
In "Economic Annals of Kujawy and Pomorze University in Bydgoszcz" starting from No. 4 (2011), the "ghostwriting" barrier applies. The purpose of introducing the barrier is to ensure honesty in science and the reader, who should be sure that the authors of the publication present the results of their work in a transparent, reliable and honest manner, regardless of whether they are its direct authors or have used the help of a specialized entity ( natural or legal person). The proof of the ethical attitude of the researcher and the highest editorial standards of our journal is the full disclosure of information about entities contributing to the publication (substantive, material, financial contribution, etc.). In view of the above:
-
The editorial board requires the authors of the publication to define the contribution of individual authors to the publication (including their affiliation and participation, including information about who is the author of the concept, assumptions, methods, division of content, etc. used in the preparation of the publication), while the author bears the main responsibility submitting the manuscript.
-
The editors explain in the "Instructions for authors" how they understand the concept and expect that the rules concerning the "ghostwriting" firewall will be respected.
-
The editorial office asks for information on the sources of financing the publication and the possible contribution of research institutions, associations and other entities ("financial disclosure").
