· Research and Publication Ethics: https://e-epih.org/policy/ethics.php
· Editorial Policies: https://e-epih.org/authors/authors.php

The Editorial Board of Epidemiology and Health carefully examines whether all submitted manuscripts abide the ethical guidelines of ICMJE and COPE. The published articles should include the statements of conflict of interest, author's contribution, Institutional Review Board, informed consent, and human/animal rights.

When the journal faces suspected cases of research and publication misconduct such as a redundant (duplicate) publication, plagiarism, fabricated data, changes in authorship, undisclosed conflicts of interest, an ethical problem discovered with the submitted manuscript, a reviewer who has appropriated an author’s idea or data, complaints against editors, and other issues, the resolving process will follow the flowchart provided by COPE (https://publicationethics.org/resources/flowcharts).
The Editorial Board of Epidemiology and Health will discuss the suspected cases and reach a decision. Epidemiology and Health will not hesitate to publish errata, corrigenda, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when needed.
