COPE, the Committee on Publication Ethics, is a registered charity that has more than 9000 members worldwide, from all disciplines. Membership is open to editors of scholarly journals and others interested in publication ethics. Many of the world's largest international publishers have signed up their journals as COPE members.

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 also provides a forum for its members to discuss individual cases. COPE does not investigate individual cases but encourages editors to ensure that cases are investigated by the appropriate authorities (usually a research institution or employer). All COPE members are expected to follow the Code of Conduct for Journal Editors.
