Ethical Issues in Applied Linguistics Scholarship

This chapter is a collective reflection on key ethical dilemmas encountered by four past and/or current editors of journals in diverse sub-fields of Applied Linguistics. We reflect on (i) our understanding of ethics in relation to journal editing; (ii) specific ethical challenges we faced in our editorial work and how they were resolved; and (iii) global considerations about the adoption of ethical practices in Applied Linguistics journal editing in the current world of academic publishing.
