Statement on the best processing procedure and prevention of publication violation

COPE regulations is set for the chief editors to ensure the least standards, expecting all members to follow them. The best instructions were much favored and they responded a wide range and different types of ethical issues as requested by the chief editors. Although COPE expects all the members to adhere to the regulations related to the journals' editors (reviewing the complaints against the members who do not adhere), we have realized that editors might not be able to perform the best practice (which are voluntary); however, it is hoped that our recommendations would address those policies and practices which require review and reconsideration.

In this synthetic issue of the documents, compulsory regulations for the standards of the journals' editors are written textually through numbered clauses.


Chief editor's general responsibilities

1.5. support freedom of speech;
1.6. ensure the validity and uniformity of the academic background;
1.7. meet the position's needs considering the rational and ethical standards;
1.8. welcome the publication of reformed, clarified versions of papers as well as apologies when necessary;

The best practice for the chief editors are:
  • actively trying to improve the authors, readers, editors, and reviewers' perspective to develop the journal's approaches
  • being updated in research to review, published, and analyze the journal's approaches with regards to the new findings in the field
  • attempting to encourage publishers to prepare appropriate resources and ask for the guidelines from experts (such as policy makers and lawyers)
  • supporting innovations to decrease the current problems in research and publication
  • supporting innovations which are in line with teaching publication ethics to researchers
  • analyzing the impact of the journal's policies on the authors and reviewers, and reconsidering the policies when necessary to encourage responsibility and decrease behavioral problems.
  • ensuring that any published content by the journal reflect the paper's message as noted in the research.

2. Contact with readers
2.1. The readers should be aware of the financial supporters or research authorities. They need to know if the supporters have had any role in the research and publication.

The best practice for the chief editors are:
  • ensuring that the published reports and research review are analyzed by reliable reviewers (in particular, the statistical analysis);
  • ensuring that the unanalyzed sections of the journals are identifiable;
  • adopting approaches which improve the validity, uniformity and reliability of the research, like editing and using related checklists;
  • using transparency policy to improve transparency in non-research papers as much as possible;
  • adopting certain systems of authoring or contribution to improve good performance (through, e.g. accurate indexing) and reduce the problems (like ghost or guest authors);

  • using a wide range of resources (not just particular individuals) for accepting new potential reviewers (e.g. through author's suggestion, reference list data base)
  • following COPE indexing when the reviewer's performance is problematic.

5. Contact with review board
5.1. The chief editor should select a new review board and give them the expectations through guidelines. Also, they should keep updated in line with the policies and new developments.

The best practices for the chief editor are:

  • ensuring that the report for clinical experiments are based on Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice and other guidelines for security of the participants;
  • ensuring that the report of the experiment and studies on animals is in line with the guidelines of World Health Organization and Human Service for the protection of animals in clinical experiments;

  • supporting authors for whom the copy right law is not adhered or they are victims of plagiarism;
