COPE Standards

The standards of the Committee on Publication Ethics are supported by the URF Publishers (COPE) . We adhere to its Best Practice Guidelines and adhere to its Code of Conduct when dealing with potential instances of misconduct. We expect our authors to follow best practises in publication ethics, particularly when it comes to authorship, competing interests, adherence to research ethics guidelines, false or fabricated information, excess publication, plagiarism, manipulated figures, and dual submission.

If we discover convincing evidence of misconduct, we will find a way to address the scientific record, which may include some corrections or withdrawal.
