Editorial Board Code of Conduct

All editors for Collective Dynamics agree to adhere to the Publication Ethics Statement and the following principles:

• Provide a selfless service to the community by facilitating peer review without any personal gain.

• Adhere to the highest standards in ethical research and research integrity.

• Ensure ethical peer review by looking out for unethical reviewer practices.

• Maintain confidentiality by not discussing content of peer review (in general) or submitted work (before publication).

• Sustain editorial quality by ensuring timely and high-quality peer review and editorial decisions.

• Support equality, diversity, and inclusion by being aware of unconscious biases, by actively promoting inclusivity, by encouraging broad engagement, and by calling biases against particular individuals, groups, or regions.

• Foster a spirit of collegiality by being respectful and supportive, and by calling out any potential harassment or disrimination.

• Upkeep editorial board integrity by declaring all competing interests when becoming an editor, and whenever circumstances change.

Any suspected shortcomings of editors should be reported to the Editors-in-Chief and will be discussed, maintaining the confidentiality of whoever raised a concern.
