Communication – holding conference calls

Ethics
CSE's White Paper on Promoting Integrity in Scientific Journal Publications, 2009 Update

COPE: Committee on Publication Ethics
COPE is a forum for publishers and editors of peer-reviewed journals to discuss issues related to the integrity of work submitted to or published in their journals. It supports and encourages editors to report, catalogue and instigate investigations into ethical problems in the publication process. COPE aims to define best practice in the ethics of scientific publishing and to assist authors, editors, editorial board members, readers, owners of journals and publishers. On the COPE Flowchart page, COPE has given ISMTE permission to share their greatest resource and certainly its most practical, the 17 flowcharts that provide algorithms for editors to follow when they suspect publication misconduct. We have provided a complete listing of the 17 flowcharts and download link to the PDF.
