Praise Worthy Prize considers the publication of an article an essential matter in the process of keeping safe the scientific knowledge. In order to safeguard the Ethics, our Publishing House is involved in the act of prevention of publication malpractice. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behaviour for all the parties involved in the act of publishing: Authors, Reviewers, Publisher and Editors.

Our standards recognize and are aligned with the Codes of Ethics and the best practice guidelines developed by The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Following there are some norms upon which Praise Worthy Prize agrees for a satisfying and ethically corrected publication.

 

All the parties below summarized, involved in the act of publishing, have agreed to follow with rigor these rules; every other case where these rules are not followed will be treated as "misconduct" with practices outlined by the flowcharts developed by COPE.
