Ethical issues

The editorial team of Ethical Education has adopted and applies publication ethics principles in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The editorial team of Ethical Education consistently implements the Core Practices defined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The editorial team of Ethical Education strives to prevent all forms of unethical authorship practices, primarily plagiarism and ghostwriting. We utilize available online journal databases and anti-plagiarism software. In cases where scientific misconduct or violations of publication ethics are detected, we notify the appropriate parties, including the author’s employing institution, about the irregularities. Whenever irregularities are identified, decisions regarding publication are made during meetings of the editorial team of Ethical Education.

In justified cases, we publish on our website corrections, explanations, clarifications, and apologies related to previously issued journal issues.
