Resources
WAME’s Editorial Policies include The Relationship Between Journal Editors-in-Chief and Owners (formerly titled Editorial Independence). This policy, written shortly after the JAMA editor was fired was also used in support of the New England Journal of Medicine editor when he was forced to leave and in support of the editors of the Croatian Medical Journal.
WAME’s Ethics Committee provides consultation in anonymous format for editors seeking advice on difficult ethical issues and provides an anonymized version online as an educational tool for editors. Additional consultation and discussion (in anonymous format) may be provided to the Committee on Publication Ethics which also issues written opinions.
WAME’s resources for editors also include Publication Ethics Policies, General resources for editors, Ethics resources, and compiled Listserve discussions. WAME also lists Meetings of interest to medical editors.

Famous quotes containing the word resources:
“I am willing to pledge myself that if the time should ever come that the voluntary agencies of the country together with the local and state governments are unable to find resources with which to prevent hunger and suffering ...

—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“...wasting the energies of the race by neglecting to develop the intelligence of the members to whom its most precious resources must be entrusted, already seems a childish absurdity.”

“Nor is any evidence to be found, either in History or Human Nature, that nations are to be bribed out of a spirit of encroachment and aggression, by humiliations which nourish their pride, or by concessions that extend their resources and power.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
