Declaration about Ghostwriting and Guest Authorship

Integrity in science is one of the foundations of quality. Readers should be sure that the authors of publications present the results of their work in a transparent, honest and fair manner, regardless of whether they are the direct authors, or used with the aid of a specialized entity (natural or legal person).
Transparency of information on entities that contributed to the publication (contribution of knowledge, material, financial, etc..) is the evidence of an ethical attitude of the scientist and the highest standards of journal editing. This is a manifestation not only of good manners, but also of social responsibility.
Ghostwriting and guest authorship are contrasting examples of malpractice. 
In the case of ghostwriting a person has made a substantial contribution to the manuscript, without disclosing his/her participation as a co-author, or without mentioning his/her role in the acknowledgments of the publication.
In the case of guest authorship (honorary authorship), a person is listed as author or co-author of manuscript despite his/her contribution was minimal or worse he/she did not contribute to creation of manuscript at all.

Therefore, the editors inform the author as follows:

1.Editors are obliged to require authors to disclose individual contributions of each of authors in the creation of manuscript (with their affiliations and contributions, i.e. who is the author of concepts, principles, methods, the protocol, etc. used in the preparation of the manuscript). The corresponding author bears primary responsibility for providing the requested information.
2.Editors explain in the Instructions for authors that ghostwriting and guest authorship are manifestations of scientific misconduct, and any detected cases will be exposed, including notification of relevant entities (institutions employing the authors, research societies, associations of editors of scientific journals, etc.)
3.Editors require authors to disclose information on sources of funding of publications, contribution of scientific research institutions, associations and other entities (financial disclosure)
4.Editors will document all forms of scientific misconduct, particularly violations of ethics rules in science.
5.Each of the authors responsible for the submission of publication will be required to make a statement on ghostwriting and guest authorship.

Review procedure (single-blind review)

Any manuscripts received for review will be treated as confidential documents. They are first evaluated by the editors to determine if they merit full external review. Reviewers for Journal of Casting & Materials Engineering are selected from the wider scientific community by the editors on the basis of their knowledge of the field. All papers are reviewed in a single-blind manner, that is, reviewer names are anonymised, so the Journal does not share their identity with the authors. Reviewers are chosen in such a way that any potential conflict of interest (including any financial, personal or other relationships) between them and the authors is disclosed. The corresponding author is then informed of the editorial decision by e-mail. It is rare for submitted manuscripts to be accepted without the need for revision. Please note that the request for a revision does not guarantee acceptance.

Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, or WordPerfect document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.

  • Declaration about ghostwriting

    I declare that I have been informed about the principles related to ghostwriting and guest authorship.
    Therefore, together with a manuscript submitted to the Journal of Casting & Materials Engineering, I submit a separate attachment with the details of entities that contributed to the publication (contribution of knowledge, physical, financial, etc.), together with their affiliations and contributions such as information who is the author of concepts, principles, methods, the protocol, etc. used in the preparation of manuscript, contribution to research institutions, associations and other entities (financial disclosure).
    As the person who submitted the manuscript I accept my responsibility for providing truthful information.

  • All Authors must indicate their individual contribution to the paper. Contribution Declaration Form is available here:Contribution Declaration Form . This completed form needs to be signed, scanned and uploaded as a Supplementary File (Step 4) along with the original manuscript submission.

  • Please suggest 3 reviewers for your article. Please provide their name, surname, e-mail and affiliation of each reviewer.

    All reviewers couldn't be only from Poland.

    Names, degree and e-mail adresses should be included in the section Comments to the Editor.

  • At submission, every Author listed in the manuscript must read and complete the Author Declaration Form available here: Authors Declaration Form. Upload the signed copy (scanned form) with your submission as a supplementary file (Step 4).
  • In submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the information in Review procedure (single-blind review) have been followed.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in the section About the Journal.
  • All illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end. See Author Guidelines
