The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) developed the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals (ICMJE Recommendations). These recommendations include a range of topics, including ethical guidelines for authorship, conflicts of interest, and patient protection. They also provide instructions for authors on manuscript preparation and submission. For editors, the ICMJE Recommendations outline established best practices for conducting peer review and handling submissions with confidentiality, timeliness, and sound editorial decision-making.
