Publication Ethics Statement
Journal of NeuroPhilosophy (JNphi) is committed to maintaining high standards through a rigorous peer-review together with strict ethical policies. Any infringements of professional ethical codes, such as plagiarism, fraudulent use of data, bogus claims of authorship, should be taken very seriously by the editors. The journal is committed to maintaining the highest level of integrity in the content published. An Initial Plagiarism Check is carried out for every manuscript submitted to JNphi.

JNphi is a member of CrossCheck and has added all its papers to the CrossCheck database. In this way, also other publishers can compare their manuscripts with JNphi's papers. CrossCheck is used through the Turnitin or web-based iThenticate system by uploading a document and running a similarity check against the CrossCheck database and the Internet. The check provides a "Similarity Index" which is the percentage of the manuscript matching other sources. Therefore, manuscripts with a high "Similarity Index" are examined if the other matching sources have been properly cited.
