Ecocycles

The editors of ECOCYCLES work hard to guarantee an unbiased, transparent, and fair peer review process and editorial decisions. The publication ethics and publication malpractice statement of ECOCYCLES is based on the Code of Conduct and Best-Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (Committee on Publication Ethics, 2011). Our journal endorses the position statements developed at the 2nd World Conference on Research Integrity, Singapore, July 22-24, 2010 for editors and authors (readable at http://publicationethics.org/resources/international-standards-for-editors-and-authors). The process ECOCYCLES follows ensures that the Journal complies with the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) Recommendations (http://www.icmje.org/icmje-recommendations.pdf), and the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing (https://publicationethics.org/files/Principles_of_Transparency_and_Best_Practice_in_Scholarly_Publishingv2.pdf). Authors and Publication - Authors of ECOCYCLES are expected to observe high standards in publication ethics: no plagiarism, no publication of the same research in different journals, no duplication in the contribution of the authors and/or no misappropriation of the works of other authors are allowed. Claims of unethical conduct will be examined first with the corresponding author of the paper. In case of absence of agreement, the case will be reported to the institution of the author and funding agencies for further action. Responsibilities of the Authors
