Ethics Policy HOME     For Authors and Reviewers    Ethics Policy

Authors are expected to conform to the basic standards of professional ethics widely required in scholarly publishing such as on plagiarism and data manipulation. Careful and appropriate citations should be included of prior works related to their research. Proper co-authorship should have been discussed based on the individual contributions to the manuscript and PKAS will assume that the consent of the co-authorship has been made before submission of the manuscript. Original contributions should be distinct from the authors' own papers previously published or submitted to other journals. It is the authors' responsibility to obtain appropriate permissions, and to give proper credit in the manuscript when it contains copyrighted material.

The PKAS adheres to the Research Ethics Regulations of the Korean Astronomical Society (KAS). For further details, the Society homepage is to be referred to.
