EASE Guidelines for Authors and Translators of Scientific Articles to be Published in English

The EASE Guidelines for Authors and Translators of Scientific Articles to be Published in English were developed in 2010 and updated and extended regularly until 2020. Their purpose was to provide simple, clear advice aimed at making international scientific communication more efficient. They also drew attention to ethical issues such as authorship criteria, plagiarism, conflict of interests and more.

In May 2020 we celebrated 10 years of the Guidelines, which were developed under the leadership of Honorary EASE member, Sylwia Ufnalska and her team. See our Jubilee article for the full story.
