Purpose - To improve and strengthen existing publication and research ethics, KODISA has identified and presented various cases which have violated publication and research ethics and principles in recent years. The editorial office of KODISA has been providing and continues to provide advice and feedback on publication ethics to researchers during peer review and editorial decision making process. Providing advice and feedback on publication ethics will ensure researchers to have an opportunity to correct their mistakes or make appropriate decisions and avoid any violations in research ethics. The purpose of this paper is to identify different cases of ethical violation in research and inform and educate researchers to avoid any violations in publication and research ethics. Furthermore, this article will demonstrate how KODISA journals identify and penalize ethical violations and strengthens its publication ethics and practices. Research design, data and methodology - This paper examines different types of ethical violation in publication and research ethics. The paper identifies and analyzes all ethical violations in research and combines them into five general categories. Those five general types of ethical violations are thoroughly examined and discussed. Results - Ethical violations of research occur in various forms at regular intervals; in other words, unethical researchers tend to commit different types of ethical violations repeatedly at same time. The five categories of ethical violation in research are as follows: (1) Arbitrary changes or additions in author(s) happen frequently in thesis/dissertation related publications. (2) Self plagiarism, submitting same work or mixture of previous works with or without using proper citations, also occurs frequently, but the most common type of plagiarism is changing the statistical results and using them to present as the results of the empirical analysis; (3) Translation plagiarism, another ethical violation in publication, is difficult to detect but occurs frequently; (4) Fabrication of data or statistical analysis also occurs frequently. KODISA requires authors to submit the results of the empirical analysis of the paper (the output of the statistical program) to prevent this type of ethical violation; (5) Mashup or aggregator plagiarism, submitting a mix of several different works with or without proper citations without alterations, is very difficult to detect, and KODISA journals consider this type of plagiarism as the worst ethical violation. Conclusions - There are some individual cases of ethical violation in research and publication that could not be included in the five categories presented throughout the paper. KODISA and its editorial office should continue to develop, revise, and strengthen their publication ethics, to learn and share different ways to detect any ethical violations in research and publication, to train and educate its editorial members and researchers, and to analyze and share different cases of ethical violations with the scholarly community.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to remind the importance of research ethics in research and publication, and to suggest the direction of research ethics by taking examples of research ethics recently implemented by KJFHC. Research design, data and methodology: With reference to the research of existing researchers, why research ethics is important, what are the violations of research ethics, and the efforts of the editorial committee of KJFHC to strengthen research ethics are presented as an example. Results: It is a reality that the concept of research ethics is becoming more complex and important with the introduction of various new academic fields. At this point in time, researchers need to pay more attention to the easily overlooked concept of research ethics. In research ethics, the most important thing is not punishment through monitoring and supervision, but prevention activities of research ethics that can prevent research misconduct before it occurs. As a preventive activity for research ethics, it can be said that the most important is the establishment of a systematic education system and active educational activities of universities and related institutions. Conclusions: This study avoids the general status and solutions for research ethics, and explains the case of the actual academic journal KJFHC and suggests alternatives.

Purpose - The purpose of this research is to suggest researchers to know the standards of research ethics violation and eliminate the researchers' anxiety for the possible cases in violation of research ethics through the notification on the web site with online paper submission system for over the last year. We have made an effort and achieved the most exemplary and leading position in the academic journals, however, not satisfied with this, we will endeavor to strengthen it. Research design, data and methodology - Plagiarism and overlapping publications are the most serious problems in research ethics. Therefore, it is necessary to verify the submitted articles making use of paper similarity test programs such as copy killer, KCI test, etc. Editorial board and reviewers should present clear evidences and notify contributors on research ethics violation after close review the contributors' article content. Results - This research focused on the submitted articles which were verified as research ethics violation, and categorized them into 7 cases. Conclusions - With analyzing the verified 7 cases from KODISA journals, this research will examine closely the verification system and regulations in the current academic research ethics. Afterwards, this research will seek for solution to the problems and make an effort to get improvement for them.

The ethical environment in academic research is rapidly changing at a global level. Further, social expectations and public interest toward research ethics are also escalating in Korea. Understanding and applying ethical issues in academic research has become increasingly important. To conform to such changes in the ethical environment, the official journal of the Korean Academy of Health Policy and Management has been consistently establishing and modifying rules and principles regarding research ethics. For instance, we amended the submission guidelines to further address the policies for gendered innovations. For this editorial of the current issue, we would like to organize and share several ethical concerns, which recently gained considerable attention. We hope this review provides scholars with practical guidelines to comprehend and incorporate critical ethical issues into academic research.

Notice: This article has been retracted as a result of the review (on May 14, 2024) by the Research Ethics Committee of the Korean Society of Remote Sensing, which confirmed research misconduct (plagiarism). The Korean Journal of Remote Sensing (KJRS) Editorial Office received a report alleging plagiarism in a paper published in KJRS authored by Zong and Kohani (2021). Following a thorough investigation by our Research Ethics Committee, we found significant similarities between the original paper (Lee and Mortari, 2017) and the paper (Zong and Kohani, 2021) published in KJRS. The scope of the plagiarism included a number of identical figures, tables, and equations, as well as textual content. As a result, the Research Ethics Committee of the Korean Society of Remote Sensing has decided to retract the paper (Zong and Kohani. 2021) for deliberately using the ideas, research content, and results of others without proper approval or citation. To preserve academic integrity, we take responsibility for enforcing ethical policies and proceeding with the follow-up actions: 1. Disclosure and preservation of the facts and reasons for the retraction of the plagiarized paper, 2. Prohibition of submissions for the next three years for the authors of the plagiarized paper, 3. Notification to the authors’ affiliated institution of the retraction of the plagiarized paper. We deeply regret to report for retraction of the article and apologize to the readers of KJRS and to the authors of the original work for any inconvenience caused.

연구윤리(혹은 연구진실성)는 과학 사회의 건강성을 유지시키는 역할 때문에 학계, 정부는 물론 과학계에 종사하지 않는 일반인들로부터 주목 받고 있다. 이 논문에서는 대표적인 연구부정인 표절을 다룬 유용한 논문들을 소개하고자 한다. 일반적으로, 연구 결과는 독창성(originality), 정확성(accuracy), 재현성(reproducibility), 정밀성(precision) 그리고 연구윤리(research ethics)가 보장되어야 한다. 표절의 정의는 "적절한 언급이나 인정 없이 다른 사람의 말이나 글, 또는 아이디어를 도용하는 것이다." 표절은 간혹 데이터의 위조와 변조보다는 경미한 연구부정으로 고려되기도 하지만, 본질적으로 그 속성은 지적 산물의 절도에 해당한다. 표절은 논문 출판 단계에만 국한해서 일어나는 것이 아니라, 연구제안과 연구수행 그리고 종설 논문 작성과정으로 확장될 수 있다. 표절의 정의를 확대하면, 중복 출판은 자기표절로 간주할 수 있다. 표절을 방지하기 위해서는 과학 사회 모든 구성원들의 정직한 노력이 요구된다. 먼저, 연구자들은 자신들의 과학적인 작업수행에 있어서 투명성(transparency)과 진실성 내지 고결성(integrity)을 유지해야 한다. 편집위원회 구성원들과 심사자들은 임무 수행과정에서 공평함과 충분한 자격을 유지해야 한다. 정부와 연구 재단들은 과학 사회에 표절 방지를 위한 재정적, 정책적 지원을 아낌없이 해야 한다. 향상된 편집 서비스, 표절 방지 프로그램 활용, 그리고 정직한 과학논문을 쓰는 방법에 대한 철저한 교육은 과학 사회의 건전한 기반을 구축하는데 기여할 것이다.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to review, analyze, and learn from the most recent cases of plagiarism and to identify and promote ethical practices in research and publication. Research design, data, and methodology - This is a case study, an analytical approach, which focuses on analyzing the most recent cases of plagiarism to identify ethical issues and concerns in journal publication practices. Results - Despite the availability of many software and web-based applications and programs to detect plagiarism, there is no universal or perfect plagiarism detection application available to ease the editorial responsibility. Lack of understanding the concept and ignorance of plagiarism were the main reasons for the cases of plagiarism. Conclusions - Some of the plagiarism cases reveal a lack of knowledge in proper application of in-text citations and references, including quoting, requiting, paraphrasing, and citing sources, etc. Furthermore, the need for recognizing and considering the distorted and falsified primary and secondary research data as plagiarism is essential to enhance ethical practices in journal publication.
