What are Sage’s ethics and responsibility policies for Editors?

Editors should:

• maintain and promote consistent ethical policies for their journals
• oversee and act to enforce those policies as needed in a fair and consistent manner
• ensure the confidentiality of the review process
• exercise the highest standards of personal integrity in their work as editor of the journal, recognising and planning for instances where they could have a competing interest or the appearance of a competing interest
• work with authors, reviewers, and Editorial Board members as necessary to ensure they are sufficiently advised regarding their journals’ ethics and publishing policies and that the journal’s stewardship on ethical matters is fair, unbiased, and timely
