Promoting integrity in scholarly research and its publication COPE brings together all those involved in scholarly research and its publication to strengthen the network of support, education and debate in publication ethics It also provides a forum for its members to discuss individual cases. COPE does not investigate individual cases but encourages editors to ensure that cases are investigated by the appropriate authorities (usually a research institution or employer).
