** Ethical considerations around book publishing
------------------------------------------------------------
Periodically, COPE gets requests for guidance on publication ethics issues related to book publishing. Many of our members publish both journals and books, and a number of these members reference COPE guidance on journal publishing and ethics as providing useful information on particular topics related to research and publication ethics.

What are the particulars of ethics in book publishing? Does book publishing require independent consideration with respect to publication ethics?

Questions for COPE Forum
* Are most of the publication ethics issues the same in book publishing as in journal publishing (eg, plagiarism, authorship, ethics approval, consent, peer review)?
* Are there particular problems with books (eg, how to retract a full book? How to retract part of a book–a single chapter within an anthology/edited volume?).
* Should proposal review count as peer review? Does selected chapter review count as peer review?
* Do we need to develop a taxonomy of book publishing practices and parallel advice on publishing ethics in books?
* Where do we go from here?

Read more about the topic ethical considerations around book publishing, with discussion points, and cases and comparisons between journals and books.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Forum, please leave add your comments to the discussion.
