We are very pleased to release an updated version of our Author Forms through an Editorial in EASE journal, European Science Editing, authored by Ksenija Bazdaric, Joan Marsh and Duncan Nicholas.
The new EASE Interactive Checklist for Submitting Authors is intended for use by journal editors and publishers. It combines the individual EASE Form for Authors’ Contributions and Conflict of Interest Disclosure, and the EASE Ethics Checklist for Authors into a single more convenient easy to complete form with check-box responses, up-to-date questions and terminology based around the CRediT – Contributor Roles Taxonomy.
Read the Editorial for details of the new form, its’ purpose, and role in improving the efficiency and integrity of journal submission processes.
We encourage all journal editors to consider adopting the new Checklist, and hope they will find it useful in their own work and in making it easier for authors when submitting their manuscripts.
