The Institute of Clinical Research (ICR) has announced that its in-house magazine, CRfocus, has been accepted as a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Formed in 1997, COPE is a forum for editors of peer-reviewed journals to discuss issues related to the integrity of the scientific record. It supports and encourages editors to report, catalogue and instigate investigations into ethical problems in the publication process and aims to provide a sounding board for editors in dealing with possible breaches in research and publication ethics. Other members of COPE include the British Medical Journal and The Lancet, and over 400 other primary journals.
CRfocus is ICR's peer-reviewed members' journal which features authoritative articles to keep readers up to date with best practice and help them develop their careers.
