Ethics requirement score

چکیده
The recent manuscript “Ethics Requirement Score: new tool for evaluating ethics in publications” is very interesting.(1) Santos et al. reported that “although the Impact Factor of foreigner journals was considerably higher than that of the Brazilian publications, the results showed that the Impact Factor has no correlation with the proposed score”.(1) Indeed, the Impact Factor does not reflect anything on publication ethics.(2) Many problematic articles (such as those with duplications and plagiarisms) are published in high Impact Factor journals. However, “Ethics Requirement Score” as the basis of publication ethics is also questionable. Data extraction only from “author’s guidelines or instructions in each journal website” might not imply ethical quality
