ABSTRACT
While internationally agreed-upon standards for research integrity and publishing suggest a straightforward approach to ethical issues in the sciences, scientific journal editors often find themselves at the forefront of ethical discussions in the sciences. This chapter reviews how ethical standards are negotiated in regard to authorship, text recycling, data integrity, and peer review. I argue that ethical issues in scientific publication must be understood as deeply influenced by the ways that scientists make knowledge in the global scientific community today and that discussions of ethics in scientific publishing must attend to who is being most affected by such changes.
