COPE brings together all those involved in scholarly research and its publication to strengthen the network of support, education and debate in publication ethics
COPE Digest newsletter
"When and how to report misconduct to institutions, publishers, and elsewhere". Read Dan Kulp's letter for key takeaways from this World Conference on Research Integrity symposium panel. Dan also highlights the WCRI sessions on paper mills and recent advances in research integrity.
Our core practices
Core practices are the policies and practices journals and publishers need, to reach the highest standards in publication ethics. We include cases with advice, guidance for day-to-day practice, education modules and events on topical issues, to support journals and publishers fulfil their policies.
Events
Wednesday 22 June
Watch the introduction to the Forum discussion on "Dealing with complaints about the integrity of published research" and read the discussion points raised at the Forum. We welcome your comments.
Who needs research integrity and publication ethics training? The importance of the feedback loop when publication ethics issues arise. These points were discussed by the panel at COPE's 2022 Seminar. Watch again.
Four new publication ethics cases were discussed at our June Forum: academic freedom, undisclosed conflicts of interest, data integrity issues, and where journals can escalate concerns about an institutional review board.
Guidance & discussion
Paper mills are a real threat to the integrity of the scholarly record. A study by COPE and STM recommends joint action by publishers, funders and research institutions.
In which we launch the paper mills research report with STM, share thoughts on the WCRI panel discussion on "When and how to report misconduct to institutions and elsewhere", and invite you to join the discussion on "Dealing with complaints about the integrity of published research".
