Over the past few years, updated editorial policy statements of several associations have provided a platform for improving the quality of scientific research and publishing. The updates have particularly pointed to the need for following research reporting standards, authorship and contributorship regulations, implementing digital tools for the identification and crediting academic contributors, and moving towards optimal ethical open-access models. This article overviews some of the recent editorial policy statements of global editorial associations and reflects on the role of the regional counterparts in advancing scholarly publishing. One of the globally promoted documents is the Recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Its latest versions contain statements on proper research reporting, reviewing, editing, and publishing. Points on ethical target journals and ‘predatory’ sources are also available. This year, in a move to update its editorial policy, the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) released the Core Practices, comprehensively reflecting on the major issues in publication ethics. Updated joint statements of medical writers associations are also available to implement transparent policy on contributorship in sponsor-supported research projects and related reports. Several suggestions are put forward to improve global editorial statements on online profiling, crediting, and referencing. It is also highlighted that knowledge and implementation of updated editorial guidance is essential for editors' good standing.

Objectives are to understand the trend of 'Globulation'. an individual strategy for a 'revolution from beyond', and to acknowledge the need to improve the command of English particularly in writing and speaking. The reader should be able to identify common grammar and compositional errors in writing English abstract. 112 English abstracts already accepted by the editorial board were examined to correct grammar and compositional errors since 2002. Five abstracts were chosen to illustrate inadequacies in different areas. Inadequacies were found most commonly in the structure of abstract. The guideline set by the Journal was often violated, not to mention the ones paid no attention to the guideline. Many abstracts were not presentable because of many errors in grammar. It was strongly recommended to include the assessment of English abstract in evaluation process. Inadequate ones should be returned to the authors for correction.
