Overview

Exploratory review examines ethical practices in computational research publications, highlighting inconsistencies.

Key Points

  • The aim is to explore how ethical expectations are shaped by the publication processes in computational research.
  • Exploratory review of 191 computational journals and conferences
  • Analysis of author guidelines, manuscript submission workflows, and review processes
  • Evaluation of ethics-related prompts across different subfields
  • Inconsistency found in ethical responsibility framing across publication venues
  • Minimal or procedural disclosures predominated, with few venues integrating ethics into reviews
  • Identified infrastructural gaps that hinder reflective practice and responsible research
