| Integrity procedures | Editor-in-Chief, with the publisher | Allegations, corrections, expressions of concern, and retractions under Publication Ethics and Corrections, Retractions and Article Updates. The publisher resources the procedure; it does not determine the finding. |
The undertaking of non-interference and the recusal rules that protect it are set out in Publisher and Editorial Governance and Conflict of Interest.
