POLICYJournal policies revised to ICMJE, COPE, CSE and DOAJ standards
Our full policy set has been rewritten and expanded to follow the ICMJE Recommendations (January 2026), the COPE Core Practices, the CSE White Paper on Publication Ethics, and the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing. New policies cover clinical trial registration, allegations of misconduct, appeals and complaints, corrections and retractions, reporting guidelines, and sex and gender reporting.
