The publication process of the Research in Multicultural and Values Education (REMVE) journal requires all participants (authors, editors, reviewers, and publishers) to adhere to ethical principles during the peer review process. The guidelines and principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) have defined the ethical responsibilities and principles for peer-reviewed publications. The REMVE journal selflessly handles ethical issues, errors, and retractions by following the best practices recommended by COPE. The journal also pledges to maintain ethical standards of conduct throughout the entire publishing process. COPE’s International Standards for Editors and Authors serve as the foundation for our journal’s ethical responsibilities and policies.
