The Ethics and Malpractice statement is a mandatory requirement and no journal is indexed without it. We take this topic very seriously and we expect our partners to abide by the same high standards. You can find a concise guide on COPE's website at http://goo.gl/aWy7WX. Please take into consideration that the said guide should not be copied as such but used to make a personalized statement which should have a separate tab on the website. Such a statement should clearly indicate the scope of responsibilities and rights of editors, reviewers and authors, as well as describe the consequences which may be drawn if misconduct is detected. Also the Ethics and Malpractice statement is different to the copyright agreement and different from instructions for authors or reviewers
