Academic publishing is actually known as a scholarly attainment and provides a medium to make explicit, both credit and responsibility, for intellectual published articles.

The benefits of collection of clinical information on patients from dissemination of findings in printed and electronic format and the positive influences f biomedical publishing on career promotion, advancement of medical knowledge, institutional prestige and sponsors of grants are all well recognized.

Responsibility for published work that is inseparable from those merits is, however, not widely accepted.

Medicine is a profession based on trust, integrity, philanthropy and altruism.

This societal expectation of the profession is linked with a developing public attentiveness of the core values of scientific enquiry such as critical analysis, evidence-based inference, hypothesis validation, inherent statistical bias, conscientious motives and research autonomy.

Increasing examples of publication misconduct has been experimented over the previous ten years indicating that key doctrines of modern

medicine’s scrutiny, trustworthiness and accountability are being unethical, uncontained by practices and attitudes of a few.

There is now growing concern among the research scientists about this behavior and progressive comprehension of the need to immediately address all these issues.

World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) have thus recently issued important policy statements on good publication practice.
