Publication Ethics Statement

Machi & McEvoy (2016) believe ethical researchers should:

1. not take data out of context to defend a preferred outcome;
2. do their own research;
3. present facts to argue a case and not use fallacious arguments;
4. present all sides of a research question;
5. search for truth and do not just try to support a personal opinion;
6. write their own literature review;
7. not use an author's words without citing them;
8. not use an author’s ideas without citing them.
