The statement of the EJPE's publication ethics is based on the best practice guidelines developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) available at http://publicationethics.org/.
The purpose of the EJPE (hereafter the Journal) is to publish high-quality peer-reviewed research articles in philosophy and economics, and to promote the development of this field with additional, and clearly distinguished, non-peer reviewed contributions, such as book reviews, interviews with leading scholars, and abstracts of recent PhD theses.
The Journal is committed to supporting maximum access to scholarly work without compromising quality or academic freedom. In accordance with this, the EJPE is published online in open access, where the copyright holder of a scholarly work grants usage rights to others using an open license (Creative Commons or equivalent) allowing for immediate free access to the work and permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose.
All contributions published in EJPE are licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY 4.0), which permits use, duplication, adaptation, distribution, and reproduction in any medium or format, as long as appropriate credit is given to the original author(s) and the source, a link is provided to the Creative Commons licence, and any changes made are indicated.
Authors retain copyright over their work published in the Journal.
We do not charge the author an article processing fee or any other fee for the publication of the article.
The journal countent is archived through the PKP Preservation Network, which is based on the LOCKSS archival system.
The author is allowed to deposit all versions (submitted version, accepted version and published version) of the article in an institutional or other repository of the author's choice without embargo.
The Journal undertakes to evaluate submission on the basis of their academic relevance, coherence, scholarship, significance, and without regard to such characteristics of the Author as institution affiliation, nationality, religion, gender, or political views. On receiving a submission, the Journal's editors assess its interest for the Journal and whether it should be passed on for peer-review. All accepted submissions are anonymously double-blind peer-reviewed by a minimum of two experts in the relevant field(s). If considered necessary, the Editors may request further referee reports or arbitrate using their own judgement. The Editors may also commission further review of a revised paper by the original referees if they consider it necessary. Referees are encouraged to provide constructive feedback and advice for the author whatever their overall recommendation. The Journal aims to provide authors with the full review reports and a formal notification of (conditional) acceptance or rejection within 3 months of submitting an article. Accepted papers will be copy-edited to the conventions of academic style in cooperation with the Author and at the expense of the Journal, and published in the next possible issue.
Upon submission, the author(s) agree to a checklist. The Editors may reject a submission without further justification if any of these declarations is false or incomplete. The Journal will take no responsibility for legal liabilities resulting from Authors’ failure to comply with relevant law, such as concerning copyright.
In cases of multiple Authors, the corresponding Author is responsible for ensuring that co-authors are properly credited, and that they have been adequately informed and consulted at every stage in the publication process.
If an Author discovers a significant error in their article after publication, they should notify the Editor immediately and cooperate in its correction or retraction.
If Authors, Referees or others have a complaint to make about the conduct of any Editor(s), or about some action of the Journal as a whole, they should first contact the Journal itself. They should send an email with the header "COMPLAINT" to the Journal’s official email address editors@ejpe.org explaining the substance of their complaint and who it concerns. If the complaint concerns a particular Editor, it will be addressed by a different Editor.
Note that the Journal does not take sides in personal, political, or institutional disputes and will not consider complaints based on such type of disagreements. However, cogent critical comments on published articles or on book reviews will be considered for publication.
If the Journal Editors fail to satisfactorily address a complaint, or in the case of a very serious complaint indeed, or if a person wishes to report a complaint anonymously, then the complaint should be directed to the Journal’s Editorial Oversight Board, an independent governance and consultancy body made up of retired EJPE editors, at eob@ejpe.org.
