    Fake Journals: Their Features and Some Viable Ways to Distinguishing Them.Mohammad Hemmat Esfe, Somchai Wongwises, Amin Asadi & Mohammad Akbari - 2015 - Science and Engineering Ethics 21 (4):821-824.
    In this paper, we aim to discuss the fake journals and their advertisement and publication techniques. These types of journals mostly start and continue their activities by using the name of some indexed journals and establishing fake websites.

    Is it Ethical for Journals to Request Self-citation?Omid Mahian & Somchai Wongwises - 2015 - Science and Engineering Ethics 21 (2):531-533.

    Journals Can Persuade Authors to Learn Publishing’s Ethics.Marzieh Maghrouni, Omid Mahian & Somchai Wongwises - 2019 - Science and Engineering Ethics 25 (2):631-633.
    Some researchers, even professors in universities, sometimes do unethical actions unintentionally due to lack of a mentor in their academic life. In this opinion piece, we aim to show that journals and publishers can play the role of a mentor for authors of scientific articles, especially young M.Sc. and Ph.D. students, to teach them the ethics in research and publishing. In this way, both journals and researchers will benefit from such a plan.
