NEW! Discussion document on handling competing interests

This guidance has been drafted following a COPE Discussion Forum on handling competing interests. The aim of the document is to further encourage discussion and to capture a record of the issues around competing interests — especially when they arise after publication — to help inform and progress the debate, and to firm up guidance where that is indicated.

The discussion document on Handling competing interests can be read online.

COPE welcomes feedback on this document and we encourage journal editors, publishers and others interested to comment. Please email all comments to Natalie Ridgeway, COPE Executive Officer here.
