Matarese V, Shashok K. Improving the biomedical research literature: insights from authors' editors can help journal editors define and refine their core competencies. F1000Research 2018;7:109

Based on their experience as authors' editors, they suggest how to strengthen core competencies for journal editors so that they better respond to the needs of readers and authors.

Second, journal editors should be able to deal effectively with inappropriate text re-use and plagiarism.
