  "abstract": "The state of the academic publishing system is alarming. The purposes of this paper are to set out the principles of ethical academic publications, to describe how these principles are undermined by the quantitative approach that prevails in the system, and to suggest some recommendations to the next generation of authors. This document would therefore primarily target students at research master levels. But the facts that are described should also be of interest to PhD students and researchers in general in order to provide an overview of the alarming state of the academic publishing system. Furthermore, the reform of this system demanded in the 2025 Declaration of Stockholm requires collective actions; this is why the Declaration is meant not only for scientific communities but also for public research funders. Chapter 1 addresses the principles of ethical academic publishing, mainly based on the European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity. Chapter 2 is more substantial and is divided into two parts. The first part examines the quantitative logic that governs the academic publication system to the detriment of public funds. The second part describes how this system is undermined by an industry of fakes, and mentions a few tools for combating fakes. The concluding chapter outlines what future authors will need to do to return to ethical publications that benefit everyone.",
