GSA TODAY | MAY 2016 25−28 SEPTEMBER GSA Code of Ethics for Abstracts Publication and
Denver, Colorado, USA Meeting Presentation
Working together as a community of geoscientists, we will
continue to advance the finest science in a respectable,
professional manner. Authors will display integrity in
disseminating their research. Presentations will adhere to the
content and conclusions of abstracts, as submitted and
reviewed. Listed co-authors will have made a bona fide
contribution to the project. Conversely, the presenter should
remain gracious by offering collaborators the opportunity for
recognition as a co-author. All co-authors must be aware of
their inclusion and have accepted that recognition. Presenters
must be diligent in preparing a polished product that conveys
high-quality scholarship. Submission of an abstract implies a
sincere intent to attend the meeting.
