NHJ is committed to meeting and upholding standards of ethical behavior at all stages of the publication process. We closely follow the industry associations, such as the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICJME) and World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) that set standards and provide guidelines for best practices in order to meet these requirements. A summary of our key expectations of editors, peer-reviewers and authors is provided in our website http://www.nhjournal.info/ethicalpolicy .
