ETHICS FOR ARTICLE PUBLICATIONS - INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS:
This general statement will be supplemented by instructions to authors (as well as in communications to editors and peer reviewers) relevant for each journal.

ETHICS AND PROCEDURES FOR ARTICLE PUBLICATIONS WITH BIOINFO PUBLICATIONS:
The editor(s) and Bioinfo Publication of this Journal believe that there are fundamental principles underlying scholarly or professional publishing. The fundamental principles with respect to the authors' paper are that the paper should:
* be the authors' own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere
* reflect the authors' own research work and analysis and do so in a truthful and complete manner,
* which having properly credit the meaningful contributions of co-authors and co-researchers,
* not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration (ensuring it is not under redundant simultaneous peer review for another journal), and
* be appropriately placed in the context of prior and existing research.

Equal importance and ethical guidelines dealing with research methods and research funding, which includes issues dealing with informed consent, research subject privacy rights, conflicts of interest, and sources of funding.
As Bioinfo Publication- while it may not be possible to draft an "ethical code" that applies adequately to all instances and circumstances, Bioinfo Publication believes it useful to outline our expectations of authors and procedures that the Bioinfo Journal will employ in the event of questions concerning author conduct. Relevant conflicts of interest should be disclosed.

Bioinfo Publication's policy on conflicts of interest:
A conflict of interest may exist when an author or the author's institution has a financial or other relationship with other people or organizations that may inappropriately influence the author work. A conflict of interest can be actual or potential and full disclosure to the Journal is the safest course. All submissions to the Bioinfo Journal must include disclosure of all relationships that could be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest. The Bioinfo Journal may use such information as a basis for editorial decisions and may publish such disclosures if they are believed to be important to readers in judging the manuscript. A decision may be made by the Bioinfo Journal not to publish on the basis of the declared conflict.

Potential conflicts of interest:
At the end of the article text, under a subheading Disclosure Statement or conflicts of interest, all authors must disclose any actual or potential conflict of interest including any financial, personal or other relationships with other people or organizations. Which should be disclosed include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications, patent registrations, and research grants or other funding. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest possible stage.

Funding source:
If funding has been provided for publication of article; all sources of funding must be declared. This declaration with the heading 'Role of the funding source' should be made in a separate section of the text in the manuscript and placed before the References. Authors must describe the role of the research sponsors, if any, in research design; in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data; in the writing of the report; and in the decision to submit the paper for publication.

Changes to authorship:
This policy concerns the new addition, deletion, or rearrangement of author names in the authorship of accepted articles.

Before the accepted manuscript is published in an online Bioinfo website:
Requests to newly add or remove an author, or to rearrange the author names, must be sent email or letter to the Bioinfo Journal the corresponding author of the accepted manuscript and must include:
1. The reason the name should be newly added or removed, or the author names rearranged
2. Written confirmation e-mail, duly signed letter from all authors that they agree with the addition, removal or rearrangement of authors names. In the case of addition or removal of authors, this includes confirmation from the author being added or removed.
Requests which are not sent by the corresponding author - will be forwarded by the Bioinfo Journal to the corresponding author, who must follow the procedure as described above.
Note that:
* Bioinfo Journal will inform the Journal Editors of any such requests
* Publication of the accepted manuscript in an online Bioinfo website is suspended until authorship has been agreed

After the accepted manuscript is published in an online issue:
Any requests to newly add, delete, or rearrange author names in an article published in an online issue will follow the same policies as noted above and may result in a corrigendum.

Articles ever withdrawn from Bioinfo Publications or Bioinfo Digital Library:
However, very occasionally some circumstances arise in which a manuscript is published that must later be retracted or even removed from Bioinfo Journals. Such decisions must never be taken lightly, and can only occur under exceptional circumstances, such as:
* Infringements of professional ethical codes, such as multiple submissions to other journals, bogus claims of authorship, plagiarism, fraudulent use of data.
* The identification of wrong, false or inaccurate data that, if acted upon, would pose a serious health risk.

Note:
* If in future any conflict of interest | Misstep | Flaw | Fluff found in article experimental data | procedure (which invalidates the conclusion), article will be immediately retracted from publication process.
