Publishing Ethics Guidelines

The strength of a journal is often directly related to the strength of its ethics. One of the most challenging and rewarding jobs as editor is to be the guardian of your journal's ethics.

As a Wiley publication JSCM adheres to Wiley's Best Practice Guidelines on Publishing Ethics: A Publisher's Perspective, Second Edition, which is widely acknowledged as the industry's most comprehensive publishing ethics guidance.

Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)

All Wiley journal editors are members of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics), which provides a Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for editors. COPE offers advice to editors and publishers on all aspects of publication ethics and, in particular, how to handle cases of research and publication misconduct. COPE also provides a forum for members to discuss individual cases. For more information contact your Wiley representative, or read our quick guide.
