The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) provides recommendations to improve the editorial standards and scientific quality of biomedical journals. These recommendations range ...from uniform technical requirements to more complex and elusive editorial issues including ethical aspects of the scientific process. Recently, registration of clinical trials, conflicts of interest disclosure, and new criteria for authorship -emphasizing the importance of responsibility and accountability-, have been proposed. Last year, a new editorial initiative to foster sharing of clinical trial data was launched. This review discusses this novel initiative with the aim of increasing awareness among readers, investigators, authors and editors belonging to the Editors´ Network of the European Society of Cardiology.

Međunarodni odbor urednika medicinskih časopisa izdao je preporuke za poboljšanje uredničkih standarda i znanstvene kvalitete biomedicinskih časopisa. Te se preporuke kreću od ujednačenih tehničkih ...zahtjeva do složenijih i manje jasnih uredničkih pitanja kao što su etički aspekti znanstvenoga procesa. Nedavno su predloženi registracija kliničkih ispitivanja, priopćivanje konflikta interesa te novi kriteriji autorstva – s naglaskom na važnost dužnosti i odgovornosti. Prošle je godine pokrenuta nova urednička inicijativa kojom se želi potaknuti razmjena podataka kliničkih ispitivanja. U ovome se preglednom članku raspravlja o toj, novoj inicijativi sa svrhom osvješćivanja čitatelja, znanstvenika, autora i urednika koji su dio Mreže urednika nacionalnih časopisa Europskoga kardiološkog društva.
