Trends in Molecular Medicine's objective is to facilitate communication between groups of highly trained professionals with distinct
backgrounds and skills, whose common goals are to understand and explain the molecular basis of disease with a view to new clinical practice. Trends in Molecular Medicine is a resource for students and professionals alike, who have information needs that transcend the
traditional clinical or scientific categorisation.
Trends in Molecular Medicine includes review articles on the genetic basis
of disease, but 'molecular' does not only mean DNA. The diagnostic role of genetic processes is clear, but major benefits in health and
disease are also provided by other molecules: enzymes, antibiotics, hormones, metals, carbohydrates, lipids, vitamins, synthetic organic
and inorganic polymers. Such benefits are discussed and evaluated by Trends in Molecular Medicine. Furthermore 'Medicine' involves
a vital societal element; molecular intervention raises controversial ethical, legal and financial issues. All these issues are addressed
in Trends in Molecular Medicine in a style that builds on 25 years' experience of publishing the Trends Journals.

Ethics in Publishing: General
Statement
The Editor(s) and Publisher of this Journal believe that there are fundamental principles underlying scholarly
or professional publishing. While this may not amount to a formal 'code of conduct', these fundamental principles with respect to the
authors' paper are that the paper should: i) be the authors' own original work, which has not been previously published elsewhere, ii)
reflect the authors' own research and analysis and do so in a truthful and complete manner, iii) properly credit the meaningful contributions
of co-authors and co-researchers, iv) not be submitted to more than one journal for consideration, and v) be appropriately placed in
the context of prior and existing research. Of equal importance are ethical guidelines dealing with research methods and research funding,
including issues dealing with informed consent, research subject privacy rights, conflicts of interest, and sources of funding. While
it may not be possible to draft a 'code' that applies adequately to all instances and circumstances, we believe it useful to outline
our expectations of authors and procedures that the Journal will employ in the event of questions concerning author conduct. With respect
to conflicts of interest, the Publisher now requires authors to declare any conflicts of interest that relate to papers accepted for
publication in this Journal. A conflict of interest may exist when an author or the author's institution has a financial or other relationship
with other people or organizations that may inappropriately influence the author's work. A conflict can be actual or potential and full
disclosure to the Journal is the safest course. All submissions to the Journal must include disclosure of all relationships that could
be viewed as presenting a potential conflict of interest. The Journal may use such information as a basis for editorial decisions and
may publish such disclosures if they are believed to be important to readers in judging the manuscript. A decision may be made by the
Journal not to publish on the basis of the declared conflict.
