Conference proceedings
Many COPE members publish both journals and books, and wonder what are the similarities and differences with conference proceedings. A number of these members reference COPE guidance on particular topics related to publication ethics.
COPE would like to investigate further the nature of conference proceedings and answer key questions such as the scope and definition of conference proceedings, and how they have developed in recent years against the backdrop of major changes in scholarly publishing. Following COPE’s mission, ethical aspects of conference proceedings will be the focus of the discussion.
- What are conference proceedings? How do they differ (if at all) from books or journals? Can a definition be agreed on that accurately and comprehensively encompasses them?
- Are proceedings subject to publication ethics to the same extent/equivalently as journals and books?
- Are most of the publication ethics issues the same in conference proceedings as in book or journal publishing (eg, plagiarism, authorship, ethics approval, consent, peer review standards, expressions of concern, retractions, conflicts of interest)?
- Are there ethical problems that are particular to conference proceedings (eg, how to retract a paper, summary or abstract from a proceeding?)
- What are the conventions around publishing in journals after including an abstract or full conference paper in a proceedings publication?
Whether or not you plan to attend the Forum, please add your comments to the discussion.
