Researchers spend a lot of time in research practices and put up their findings for the welfare of education fraternity and society, it\u2019s the right of researcher to disseminate their research findings through any mode, but results are most likely to be published as an article\/ research paper in a scholarly\/ academic journal. Honest, fair and accurate reporting of research methodologies, data collection tools, interpretation of data, and results are the basis of all publications. Researchers should avoid dividing a project into \u201cleast publishable units,\u201d which misinforms the public on the importance and value of the research, and wastes time and money, they should also avoid publishing duplicate studies, and malpractices, that also unfairly represents the importance of the research.<\/span><\/p>

An author is considered anyone involved with initially involved in conception, research design, data collection and analysis, manuscript drafting, or final approval. However, the following do not necessarily qualify for authorship: providing funding or resources, mentorship, or contributing research but not helping with the publication itself. Authorship credit should reflect the individual\u2019s contribution to the study. The primary author assumes responsibility for the publication, making sure that the data are accurate, that all deserving authors have been credited, that all authors have given their approval to the final draft; and handles responses to inquiries after the manuscript is published.<\/span><\/p>

Authors are usually listed in their order of importance, with the designation first or last author carrying special weight, although practices again vary by discipline. Academic institutions usually will not promote researchers to the rank of tenured faculty until they have been listed as first or last author on one or more papers. As with the principle of contribution, however, there are no clear rules for determining who should be listed as first author or the order in which other authors should be listed. The order of authorship on the by line should be a joint decision of the co-authors. Authors should be prepared to explain the order in which authors are listed.\u00a0Recommended Reading:\u00a0<\/span>Authorship and Publication<\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u2014 U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Research Integrity<\/span><\/p>

Citation<\/span>

Just as a thorough literature search is the foundation for responsible research, appropriate reference citation is the foundation for responsible reporting. It is the responsibility of author\/s to include adequate references that document the origins of ideas, to verify that referenced works are consistent with the ideas and information credited to them, and to cite original sources whenever possible.
