In May 2020 we are delighted to have celebrated the 10th anniversary of the first issue of the EASE Guidelines. See our Jubilee article for the full story.
The EASE Guidelines for Authors and Translators of Scientific Articles to be Published in English provide simple, clear advice aimed at making international scientific communication more efficient. They also draw attention to ethical issues such as authorship criteria, plagiarism, conflict of interests and more.

We are grateful to our team of volunteers who have translated these Guidelines into many other languages. If you would like to volunteer in this way please contact the Secretary.
We encourage journal editors to include the following formula in their Instructions to Authors:
“Before submission, follow the EASE Guidelines for Authors and Translators, freely available in many languages at www.ease.org.uk/publications/author-guidelines. Adherence should increase the chances of acceptance of submitted manuscripts.”
