Authors of the criticized material should be allowed to respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Studies that challenge previous work published in the journal should be given an especially sympathetic hearing. Studies reporting negative results should not be excluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Encouraging <\/strong>A<\/strong>cademic <\/strong>I<\/strong>ntegrity<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Editors should ensure that the research material they publish conforms to internationally accepted ethical guidelines. Editors should seek assurances that all research has been approved by an appropriate body (e.g. research ethics committee, institutional review board). However, Editors should recognize that such approval does not guarantee that the research is ethical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pursuing <\/strong>M<\/strong>isconduct<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Editors have a duty to act if they suspect misconduct. This duty extends to both published and unpublished papers. Editors should not simply reject papers that raise concerns about possible misconduct. They are ethically obliged to pursue alleged cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Editors should first seek a response from those accused. If they are not satisfied with the response, they should ask the relevant employers or some appropriate body (perhaps a regulatory body) to investigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Editors should make all reasonable efforts to ensure that a proper investigation is conducted; if this does not happen, Editors should make all reasonable attempts to persist in obtaining a resolution to the problem. This is an onerous but important duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensuring the <\/strong>I<\/strong>ntegrity of the <\/strong>A<\/strong>cademic <\/strong>R<\/strong>ecord<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If, after an appropriate investigation, an item proves to be fraudulent, it should be retracted. The retraction should be clearly identifiable to readers and indexing systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Relations with <\/strong>J<\/strong>ournal <\/strong>O<\/strong>wners and <\/strong>P<\/strong>ublishers<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The relationship of Editors to publishers and owners is often complex, but should in each case be based firmly on the principle of editorial independence. Notwithstanding the economic and political realities of their journals, Editors should make decisions on which articles to publish based on quality and suitability for readers rather than for immediate financial or political gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conflict of <\/strong>I<\/strong>nterest<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Editors should avoid their own conflicts of interest as well as those of their staff, authors, reviewers, and editorial board members.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Use of Generative AI (GenAI Policy) General\u00a0Duties\u00a0and\u00a0Responsibilities\u00a0of\u00a0Editors\u00a0of Asian Musicology Editors of Asian Musicology are responsible for everything published in their journals.
