Why you can't afford to ignore publication ethics

Becoming an author can bring you recognition, but it comes with a host of responsibilities. Paying attention to publication ethics is crucial to a researcher’s career. Even if you make a mistake unknowingly, it can leave a stain on your reputation. And, once your peers and the public lose faith in your work, it’s an uphill struggle to win it back.
