Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) "provides advice to editors and publishers on all aspects of publication ethics and, in particular, how to handle cases of research and publication misconduct." It was "established in 1997 by a small group of medical journal editors in the UK but now has over 7,000 members worldwide from all academic fields."
By signing up to COPE, Science International warrants that we will adhere to the COPE Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and that we will follow COPE guidelines when dealing with issues surrounding publication ethics.

We use CC-BY licensing on all Science International articles (see each article for the exact CC-BY version used). This means authors retain their copyright, while at the same time others can freely copy & reuse the articles without needing to ask further permission. If a publisher asks you to sign over your copyright then it becomes difficult, expensive, or impossible for others to access your research.
