Author Guidelines

Ethical guidelines for authors
All authors submitting to Ethnographic Edge need to adhere to the following ethical guidelines:
• All authors must ensure that their article is their own original work. You will be asked to confirm this when submitting.
• All authors are equally held accountable for the content of a submitted manuscript or other text.
• The corresponding author must ensure all named co-authors consent to publication and to being named as a co-author. All persons who have made significant contribution to the work reported should be named as co-authors.
• Authors must not submit a manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously.
• Authors should not submit previously published work, nor work which is based in substance on previously published work, either in part or whole.
• Authors must appropriately cite all relevant publications. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, should not be used or reported in the author's work unless fully cited, and with the permission of that third party.
• Authors must demonstrate that appropriate ethical principles have been followed in their research. These may include, but are not limited to, informed consent, privacy, respect and cultural sensitivity. Where ethical considerations are not discussed in the submission a separate statement regarding ethics should be attached as an endnote.
• Authors must avoid making defamatory statements in submitted articles, which could be construed as impugning any person's reputation.
• Authors must declare any potential conflict of interest – be it professional or financial – which could arise with respect to the article.
• Authors must disclose all sources of funding for the research reported in the paper.
