Membership in COPE

 

In accordance with the recommendations stipulated by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education in the amended Higher Education Act, we apply the principles of publishing ethics, following the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). In September 2018, COPE and the University of Łódź concluded an agreement, which is an expression of appreciation for the publishing policy implemented for our journals.

COPE, which federates 10,000 members representing all academic branches from around the world, provides publishers with expertise in publishing ethics, offers advice on how to react to violations, and constitutes a forum where its members can exchange knowledge and experience by presenting specific cases regarding ethical issues.

For authors and reviewers, COPE membership is a guarantee that a publisher maintains the highest ethical standards and follows the rules stipulated within COPE’s code of practice.
