Watch the webinar recording which includes presentations by the speakers and the question and answer session.
For some years, COPE has been discussing the fundamental relationship between publication ethics and research ethics, publication ethics being part of research and research publishing. COPE has recently launched membership for selected, invited universities and institutes, and will open up this category of membership more generally later this year. By opening its membership in this way, COPE hopes to bring more people together to help educate and promote an understanding of the principles of publication ethics from the ground up. These collaborations will help us solve the publication ethics problems we share, and promote integrity in research publishing better, fostering a culture of responsibility for the integrity of the literature. This webinar will look at the issues around the relationships between editors/publishers and institutions.
After our speaker presentations, there will be an opportunity for questions from attendees. You can email your question in advance or ask questions during the webinar.
