Abstract	The key ethical standards for authorship of educational research are summarized, drawing on "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. Adopted by more than 500 scientific and biomedical journals, these standards are effective guidelines for educational publications. All persons listed as authors must have made a substantial intellectual contribution to the study and accept public responsibility for it, and be able to defend the contribution against academic challenge. Participation solely in the acquisition of funding or the collection of data does not merit authorship status. People who made a significant contribution to the work that did not justify authorship may be listed among the acknowledgments. Authors also have an obligation to use journal space wisely and efficiently, and to avoid redundant publication. While it is generally permissible for an author to submit a manuscript that has been presented at a conference, an author should not submit a paper that has been published previously. Because journals usually will not wish to publish separate articles by competing members of a research team, co-workers should consider submitting one manuscript containing multiple interpretations if they exist, and then calling the attention of the editors to the dispute. Conflict of interest for a given manuscript exists when a participant in the peer review and publication process has ties to activities that could influence judgment inappropriately. Financial relationships and their effects are less easily detected than other conflicts of interest, and authors should disclose these conflicts to their editors. An author should cite all publications that have been influential to the work, and should identify the sources of information quoted or offered. Explicit permission is needed for information obtained privately. (Contains 10 references.) (SLD)
