COPE is committed to improving communication with its members about its activities and encouraging debate about publication ethics. We surveyed members about the idea of a quarterly newsletter and had a positive response. In November 2008, we appointed an Editor, Jeannie Wurz, who now produces the COPE Newsletter, Ethical Editing.

We welcome contributions to Ethical Editing. Please send them to: cope_editor@publicationethics.org
