Publication Ethics

Authors are expected to present high standards to stringent guidelines about the most effective methods of publication. Inappropriate activities include but are not limited to the following: falsification or fabrication of data; plagiarism (>25%), including but not limited to the duplicate publishing of the author's own work without proper reference; and theft of work. Any instances of unethical behavior or publishing misconduct are taken extremely seriously and will be handled in accordance with the recommendations made by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Refer to the OUP’s ethical policies (https://academic.oup.com/pages/authoring/journals/preparing_your_manuscript/ethics).
