Peer review, authorship, ethics, and conflict of interest.

PURPOSE To explore problems in peer review, authorship, ethics, and conflict of interest related to writing and publishing. Publishing and adhering to principles is critical as nurse researchers, educators, administrators, and practitioners participate in the development and dissemination of knowledge. CONCLUSIONS The quality and integrity of nursing publications are affected by peer review, author collaboration, and ethical conduct. Understanding the conflicts of interest inherent in each action and being committed to impartial review and meeting the requirements of authorship can ensure fewer difficulties for authors, publishers, and consumers.
