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:
“The great object of Education should be commensurate with the object of life. It should be a moral one; to teach self-trust: to inspire the youthful man with an interest in himself; with a curiosity touching his own nature; to acquaint him with the resources of his mind, and to teach him that there is all his strength, and to inflame him with a piety towards the Grand Mind in which he lives. Thus would education conspire with the Divine Providence.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Somehow we have been taught to believe that the experiences of girls and women are not important in the study and understanding of human behavior. If we know men, then we know all of humankind. These prevalent cultural attitudes totally deny the uniqueness of the female experience, limiting the development of girls and women and depriving a needy world of the gifts, talents, and resources our daughters have to offer.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“The poor tread lightest on the earth. The higher our income, the more resources we control and the more havoc we wreak.”
—Paul Harrison (b. 1936)
