Before submitting a manuscript to a journal, check that your study meets all the requirements regarding experimental and data transparency.

Responsible Authorship
Addressing authorship and authorship priority at the beginning of a study can reduce the risk for disagreements, however, this is not always possible in discovery-based research. As an author, you should have access to raw data and its analysis, and always sign off on the final version of a manuscript before submission. Authors can request correction or retraction when they discover errors post-publication. External partners (sponsors, industry), who meet the requirements for authorship or acknowledgement must be appropriately listed and their industry affiliation must be disclosed in the published article. Individuals should not be provided with a "gift" authorship as an attempt to increase the likelihood of publication. For details about ghost, guest and gift authors see this article. 
Authorship of a scientific manuscript should be limited to those individuals who have contributed in a meaningful and substantial way. All authors should fairly evaluate their roles in the project according to published standards of the University of Basel.
