InPublishing: IOPP introduces ethics statement checker

IOP Publishing (IOPP) has announced it has introduced a free online ethics statement generation tool called EthicsGen.

The publisher says the tool supports authors to create correctly worded ethics statements to speed submissions through peer review and match the statement criteria of an author’s journal of choice, freeing precious time to concentrate on research. The statements will make it easier for reviewers to read and assess the content.

Kim Eggleton, head of peer review and research integrity at IOPP says: “Responding to the needs of the scientific community lies at the heart of everything we do. EthicsGen will enhance the publishing experience for our authors, reviewers and readers, increase efficiency and speed, and supports our commitment to deliver the highest integrity standards. We are excited about this new partnership and will continue to seek collaborations like this to optimise the experience for our authors.”

IOPP says EthicsGen for IOP is freely available to all authors here.
