About the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing (https://doaj.org/bestpractice)

The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Directory of Open Access Journals(DOAJ), the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) are scholarly organizations that have seen an increase in the number, and broad range in the quality of, membership applications. The four organizations have collaborated to identify principles of transparency and best practice for scholarly publications and to clarify that these principles form the basis of the criteria by which suitability for membership is assessed by COPE, DOAJ and OASPA, and part of the criteria on which membership applications are evaluated by WAME.
