JNPARR strives for the highest ethical standards in editorial and publishing conduct. To that end, JNPARR follows the Committee for Publication Ethics (COPE) and  the ethical and legal standards outlined in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) and reporting of Conflicts of Interest as outlined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Every effort is made to ensure the validity and integrity of published papers, but final responsibility for the content rests with authors, not JNPARR, its editors, reviewers, or the publisher.

Authorship

All individuals listed in the by-line of any type of article must fully meet criteria for authorship. Individuals making other contributions should be identified in the acknowledgements. Consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.) or the ICMJE for details. JNPARR requires that all authors meet the following criteria:

1. Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; and

1. Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; and

1. Final approval of the version to be published.

Conflicts of Interest and Source of Funding

Authors must state all possible conflicts of interest in the manuscript, including financial, consultant, institutional and other relationships that might lead to bias or a conflict of interest. If there is no conflict of interest, this should also be explicitly stated as none declared. All sources of funding should be acknowledged in the manuscript. All relevant conflicts of interest and sources of funding should be included on the title page of the manuscript with the heading "Conflicts of Interest and Source of Funding."

Disclosures of Conflict of Interest
