RSELTL publication ethics update

RSELTL has comprehensively revised its Publication Ethics and Research Integrity policy to strengthen transparency, clarify the journal’s own ethical procedures, and align them with recognised international publishing standards.

The revised policy clearly outlines RSELTL’s requirements for authors, editors and reviewers, including research ethics, authorship, peer review, conflicts of interest, research misconduct, AI use, corrections and retractions. The policy also provides a direct reference to the COPE Core Practices as an external publication-ethics framework.

These updates further strengthen RSELTL’s commitment to research integrity, transparency and responsible scholarly publishing.
