IJCAI’s new conflict of interest policy
A potential conflict of interest exists when a person is involved in making a decision that could result in financial or professional gain (such as the selection of a paper for a conference) for that person, a close associate of that person or that person’s institution or company.

A close associate is someone that is employed at the same institution or
company; advisor or current or recent graduate
student (within last 60 months); co-author within the last 48 months; investigator on the same grant or
research project; actively working on a project
together or on a similar topic; related by birth or marriage or

Authorship
See Judy’s talk
My advice Try to agree up front who is an
author and what is the order of authors
Some questions to consider: Would the paper exist without this
person? If the other authors fell sick, could
this person present the talk?
![Page 33: Ethics Prof. Toby Walsh NICTA and UNSW. Ethics Why? Why should you worry about ethics? What? What should you worry about? How? How do you.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013100/551b3f59550346ae7a8b493b/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Authorship
See Judy’s talk
My advice When deciding the author order, try
to have one rule across all your papers However, your rule may conflict
with mine! Keep it simple
Mine: alphabetical order
![Page 34: Ethics Prof. Toby Walsh NICTA and UNSW. Ethics Why? Why should you worry about ethics? What? What should you worry about? How? How do you.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013100/551b3f59550346ae7a8b493b/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

Citation
See Judy’s talk
Credit where credit is due If we stand on the shoulders of
others, we should give them fair credit
We’re not in it for the money!
Citations only get more important Grants, tenure, …

Reviewing
Ethical minefield Material under review is strictly
confidential
Stakes are high Publish or perish People’s egos/livelihood is at stake
Anonymous Permits “bad” behaviours Role of author feedback!
First past the post Credit is only given to the 1st to publish
![Page 37: Ethics Prof. Toby Walsh NICTA and UNSW. Ethics Why? Why should you worry about ethics? What? What should you worry about? How? How do you.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013100/551b3f59550346ae7a8b493b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Reviewing
DO Declare conflicts & excuse yourself
where appropriate Treat all material in confidence Be objective (if you can’t, don’t review
this particular work) Be constructive
Think how your text will be received!
DON’T Review work where you have a conflict Wage vendettas, promote religions, … Now work on this problem (at least till
the work is published)
![Page 38: Ethics Prof. Toby Walsh NICTA and UNSW. Ethics Why? Why should you worry about ethics? What? What should you worry about? How? How do you.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013100/551b3f59550346ae7a8b493b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Experimentation
Recall, this is where 40% of scientific misconduct takes place!
Avoid the temptation to take shortcuts Nature will find you out There’s always a curve ball waiting
Remember 1% inspiration 99% perspiration
![Page 39: Ethics Prof. Toby Walsh NICTA and UNSW. Ethics Why? Why should you worry about ethics? What? What should you worry about? How? How do you.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013100/551b3f59550346ae7a8b493b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Experimentation
DO Keep good records (eg raw data) Look at the data Report enough detail to enable
replication Publish corrections promptly
DON’T Be selective
Cherry picking results! Obfuscate
![Page 40: Ethics Prof. Toby Walsh NICTA and UNSW. Ethics Why? Why should you worry about ethics? What? What should you worry about? How? How do you.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022013100/551b3f59550346ae7a8b493b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
