TY - JOUR AB - Purpose– This paper aims to respond to Curno’s piece on the Challenges to ethical publishing in the digital era. Design/methodology/approach– In this response, the author argues that a focus on “publication ethics” may perpetuate the problem of unethical conduct because such a focus ignores the influences of the educational ethics pipeline. Findings– As a result, the author issues two calls for action: we must cease operating in our ethical silos and educational leaders must publicly recognize the problem of unethical conduct and fully commit to addressing it. Originality/value– This response challenges the notions of ethical silos and the inaction by educational institutions to properly train ethical professionals, authors and researchers.
