Ghostwriting barrier

Readers of Mining Machinery can be assured that the authors of the publication present the results of their work clearly, fairly and honestly, whether they are the direct authors or have been assisted by a specialised body.

The editors require the authors of a publication to disclose the contribution of individual authors to the publication (providing their affiliation, i.e. information on who authored the concepts, assumptions, methods, etc. used to prepare the publication), but the primary responsibility lies with the author submitting the article. The editors require information on the sources of funding for the publication, contributions from scientific research institutions, societies and others.
