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.
News & opinion
Becoming an editor of a journal is an exciting but daunting task. This short guide aims to summarise key issues and to provide links to relevant pages of the COPE website as well as those of other organisations. #PublicationEthics
