COPE brings together all those involved in scholarly research and its publication to strengthen the network of support, education and debate in publication ethics
COPE at the WCRI, South Africa
COPE is supporting the World Conference on Research Integrity (WCRI) as a Rhino sponsor. Dan Kulp, COPE Chair, and Matt Hodgkinson, COPE Council are representing COPE at the session on “When and how to report to institutions, journals, publishers, or elsewhere", which explores the available resources and the barriers to reporting issues. There are also sessions on data publishing, preprints, paper mills, and more sessions promoting research integrity. Follow this week's conference on Twitter #WCRI2022
