Scholarly publishers are the guardians of research integrity, ensuring that the research that reaches us is reliable and trustworthy. But their impact doesn't end there—it reaches beyond academia, shaping public trust in science and influencing important policy decisions. With new challenges posed to research integrity, how can publishers step up and ensure the credibility of the research they publish? Here, we're delving into COPE guidelines, which serve as a blueprint for publishers in upholding the integrity of academic research and shaping the future of scholarly communication. #ResearchIntegrity #AcademicPublishing #ScholarlyCommunication #ResearchEthics
