Philip E. Bourne und Virginia Barbour haben in PLoS Computational Biology zehn Regeln für den Aufbau und den Erhalt einer wissenschaftlichen Reputation aufgestellt.
Rule 1: Think Before You Act
Rule 2: Do Not Ignore Criticism
Rule 3: Do Not Ignore People
Rule 4: Diligently Check Everything You Publish and Take Publishing Seriously
Rule 5: Always Declare Conflicts of Interest
Rule 6: Do Your Share for the Community
Rule 7: Do Not Commit to Tasks You Cannot Complete
Rule 8: Do Not Write Poor Reviews of Grants and Papers
Rule 9: Do Not Write References for People Who Do Not Deserve It
Rule 10: Never Plagiarize or Doctor Your Data
Die Regeln sind aus einer Diskussion im Committee on Publication Ethics entstanden.
