Publication ethics is defined as the principles of conduct governing an individual or a group. (Carlson and Ross, 2010), According to authors the publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the advancement of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is therefore compulsory to all authors, editors, the peer reviewer, publishers and the society of society-owned or sponsored journals to agree upon publication ethics standards. 6
