COPE provides leadership in thinking on publication ethics and practical resources to educate and support members, and offers a professional voice in current debates.
COPE Member Insight
October issue of Member Insight is out now with a recording of the webinar "Trustworthy AI for the future of publishing" in which guest speakers discuss the opportunities of using AI in publishing and related ethical concerns. We begin a series of interviews with new COPE Council Members, and encourage members to add to the Forum discussion on "Bias in peer review".
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.
