Policy
Research and publication ethics
Standards
AEX CONTINUUM follows the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Authors, reviewers and organisers are expected to act with honesty, transparency and respect for confidentiality.
Authorship
Authorship must reflect substantial intellectual contribution. Contributions are declared using the CRediT taxonomy. All authors approve the deposited version and agree to be accountable for the work. Changes to the author list after deposit require written agreement from every author.
Conflicts of interest
Depositors declare financial and non-financial interests that could be seen to influence the work. Reviewers recuse themselves where they have a recent collaboration, shared affiliation or personal relationship with an author.
Misconduct
Deposits are checked for text overlap. Suspected plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, duplicate deposit or citation manipulation is investigated following COPE flowcharts. Confirmed cases may lead to withdrawal, correction and notification of the authors' institutions.
