[IP-OA_Forum] Revised Principles of Transparency and Best Practice released

[Bernie Folan <bernie.folan@oaspa.org>]

OASPA is pleased to have collaborated once again with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) to review and update a list of the guiding principles we all share which are intended as a foundation for best practice in scholarly publishing to help existing and new journals reach the best possible standards.  

This fourth version of the Principles represents a collective effort between the four organizations to align the principles with today’s scholarly publishing landscape. The last update was in 2018, and the scholarly publishing landscape has changed. Guidance is provided on the information that should be made available on websites, peer review, access, author fees and publication ethics. The principles also cover ownership and management, copyright and licensing, and editorial policies.

Best wishes,
