GHOSTWRITING POLICY
The Annals of Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW, Horticulture and Landscape Architecture has implemented the procedure to prevent cases of ghostwriting. To avoid cases of ghostwriting the Editors request information about the contributions of each author to the submitted study. The Editors consider authorship to include all of the following: 1) substantial contributions to conception and design, acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data; 2) drafting the article or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and 3) final approval of the version to be published. Authors should meet conditions 1, 2, and 3.

The Editors also request that one author, referred to as corresponding author / guarantor, be identified as the person who take responsibility for the integrity of the work as a whole and for the presence and order of co-authors.

Ghostwriting is considered academic dishonesty. All detected cases of ghostwriting will be exposed by the Editors, including notification of institutions employing the authors, scientific societies, associations of science editors, etc. All cases of scientific misconduct (particularly violations of ethical standards applicable in science) will be documented.
