EASE Ethics Checklist for Authors

The EASE Ethics Checklist for Authors is intended for use by authors submitting to scientific journals during, or soon after, manuscript submission, to make formal declarations of the ethical integrity of the research, and information on any issues which must be provided to editorial offices.

The form should be signed by the corresponding author on submission of a manuscript.

This is a standalone version of the form contained within the EASE Interactive Checklist for Submitting Authors which combines this Ethics Checklist with the Author Contribution and COI form, for a comprehensive resource for journal editors and authors.

The form includes details for:

    • Originality of publication

    • Authorship

    • Ethical experimentation and implementation

    • Funding sources

    • Conflicts of interest

  • Acknowledgments

This form should be used in conjunction with the EASE Form for Authors’ Contributions and Competing Interest Disclosure (see the EASE Interactive Checklist for Submitting Authors for a combined resource), and the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) Checklist.
