GSA 2017 ANNUAL MEETING & EXPOSITION

GSA Code of Ethics for
Abstracts Publication and Meeting
Presentation

When submitting an abstract, you will be asked for your
agreement to the following Code of Ethics:

Working together as a community of geoscientists, we will
continue to advance the finest science in a respectful, profes-
sional manner. Authors will display integrity in disseminat-
ing 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 dili-
gent in preparing a polished product that conveys high qual-
ity scholarship. Submission of an abstract implies a sincere
intent to attend the meeting.
