TLDR
The HEART group has developed a document that addresses general ethical principles in the conduct of the scientific process with which all of the editors concur as discussed by the authors, and this document presents the ethical tenets accepted by all the undersigned editors that will continue to guide their decisions in the editorial process.Abstract:
Over the past several years, the editors of leading international cardiovascular journals have met to form the HEART group and to discuss areas of growing, common interest. Recently, the HEART group has developed a document that addresses general ethical principles in the conduct of the scientific process with which all of the editors concur. Published essentially simultaneously in all of the participating journals, including this journal, this document presents the ethical tenets accepted by all of the undersigned editors that will (continue to) guide their decisions in the editorial process. These are the general principles on which the HEART Group is based and by which we, as a group, abide; however, please note that individual journal members and their respective societies may have their own rules and regulations that supersede the guidelines of the HEART Group.read more
