What is integrity of the literature?
All professionals rely on the literature of their discipline, and have a vested interest in its integrity. The highest responsibility of editors is to ensure that every item published in their journal satisfies the highest standards of scientific integrity (12). Progress in research is a community endeavor, and the community is formed around the sharing of information. Authors want the greatest possible visibility for their work, but self-centered desire must be subsumed to the needs of the larger community. The ultimate responsibility for the integrity of the literature rests with the individual author (14); and the rarity of aberrations is a major factor in the success of science.
