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:
“Everywhere we are told that our human resources are all to be used, that our civilization itself means the uses of everything it has—the inventions, the histories, every scrap of fact. But there is one kind of knowledge—infinitely precious, time- resistant more than monuments, here to be passed between the generations in any way it may be: never to be used. And that is poetry.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
“Hearing, seeing and understanding each other, humanity from one end of the earth to the other now lives simultaneously, omnipresent like a god thanks to its own creative ability. And, thanks to its victory over space and time, it would now be splendidly united for all time, if it were not confused again and again by that fatal delusion which causes humankind to keep on destroying this grandiose unity and to destroy itself with the same resources which gave it power over the elements.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)
“Parents can offer their help by suggesting and locating resources likely to be unfamiliar to children, such as people, books, and materials that can be useful.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
