CPCJ 50th Anniversary Editorial Board Commentary: Ethics and Health Policy

Abstract

To celebrate the 50th year of the Cleft Palate–Craniofacial Journal we look back to where we started in 1964, where we are now, and speculate about directions for the future in a Then and Now editorial series. This editorial examines 50 years of social, policy, and regulatory changes that broaden the responsibility for research integrity to include the investigator, the journal editorial review process, and institutional oversight. Internationally recognized standards for authorship, publication of recognizable cases and images, and confidentiality of peer-review are addressed in the context of the history of the CPCJ. As we look to the future, the core principles will continue to guide the endeavor of research involving human subjects while adhering to our obligations to protect the interests of the people we serve.
