COPE Guidelines — Journal of Health Sciences and Collaborative Care (JHSCC)
Editors use publicly available Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidance to inform the assessment of publication-ethics concerns. This reference does not claim COPE membership, endorsement, or accreditation.
Concerns are assessed on the available evidence, with appropriate confidentiality, opportunities for response, and independent handling where conflicts arise. Relevant guidance supports the journal’s policies on authorship, conflicts, ethical oversight, peer review, complaints, and post-publication action.
