- 14. RESEARCH FINDINGS PUBLICATION ETHICS STANDARDS SHOULD BE THE SAME FOR ALL PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL S. Grazio, B. Anić, and F. Grubišić's letter-to-the-editor in this CMJ issue emphasizes ethical editorial policies for non-English journals. Many local and regional journals publish in local languages with English abstracts. Such journals need articles explaining new science, education, and practice in plain language. By following international standards for research reporting, referencing, ethical disclosure, and metadata and author ID digitization, such journals can increase their visibility. The Sarajevo Declaration on Integrity and Visibility of Scholarly Publications (DIVA) was drafted by editors from Balkan and Mediterranean countries to raise author, reviewer, and editor awareness of acceptable publication practices in the region (1). Some regional publishers continue to publish useless, redundant, and possibly unethical original research and reviews despite updated global editorial association recommendations and institutional research and publication policies. Unaware editors of Scopus and Web of Science-indexed journals accept articles from commercial brokering agencies that violate authorship and conflict of interest norms. Some agencies guarantee publication by helping their clients pass peer review.
