Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors

One of the ways in which COPE fulfils this mission is by the publication of its Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.Editors who are COPE members are expected to follow this Code of Conduct.The Best Practice Guidelines, however, are more aspirational and we recognise that it may not be possible for all journals to follow them. The two guidelines were revised in 2011 and combined into a single document.

Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers

Recognising the important role of publishers and journal owners in promoting and supporting ethical practices, COPE has also produced a Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers.
