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.
