AUTHORSHIP & PUBLICATIONS

Unpublished work will not be shared outside of the Institute, without the express consent of all collaborators on that work. All authors must give advance approval for the work to be published. A contributor will be granted authorship, if they meet two or more of the following contribution criteria:
  • conception or design of the work
  • acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work,
  • intellectual contributions to the manuscript.
Note: For undergraduates or technicians, only one contribution criterion may be required.

We strongly encourage posting manuscripts to a preprint server, either before or at the time of journal submission.
All publications will be made publicly available through Institute repositories within 12 months of publication.

PRESENTATIONS
​Project members, especially trainees, are encouraged to present their findings in public talks. Speakers must request advance permission to share unpublished data from other team members, and must acknowledge the Institute in their public presentation.


REPORTING MISCONDUCT

Anyone in the Institute has the ability to report violations of the WALII Code of Conduct. Violations may be reported to:
  • A Theme or Project Lead, the Director, the Scientific Coordinator, or member of the executive team
  • A member institution’s Human Resources office
  • EthicsPoint (managed by Carnegie Institution for Science)
Violations reported through the EthicsPoint Hotline will be received by Carnegie’s Human Resources department, and will be addressed by Carnegie’s HR Director, in conjunction with the Scientific Coordinator.

Complaints related to scientific work (e.g., authorship disputes) will be handled by the WALII Steering Committee. Personnel complaints (e.g., harassment) will be addressed in conjunction with the respective member organization’s Human Resources department.

NON-RETALIATION
WALII does not tolerate retaliation against any person who in good faith reports a violation of any of its policies and guidelines, submits a complaint, cooperates with an investigation, or seeks guidance on ethical and compliance concerns
