Post–submission: Screening and Review
Publication ethics and publication malpractice statement of the African Human Rights Yearbook Authors should observe high standards with respect to publication ethics as set out in the guidelines adopted by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines). Any cases of ethical misconduct will be treated very seriously and will be dealt with in accordance with these guidelines. In the event that the African Human Rights Yearbook publisher or editors are made aware of any allegation of research misconduct, the publisher or editor will investigate and act upon such allegations. When information comes to the attention of the publisher or editors of the AHRY that requires the retraction or correction of a published article, the matter must be investigated and acted upon appropriately. The AHRY is committed to publishing corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when so required, in the issue immediately following, in line with COPE guidelines. Conflict of interest Authors should declare if they consider that they may be reasonably perceived to have a conflict of interest in respect of the content of the manuscript they submit. The ground for the potential perception of a conflict of interest must be acknowledged in the manuscript. Editors must refrain from participating in the selection of articles about which they may reasonably be perceived to have a conflict of interest. External reviewers are expected to refrain from participating in the selection of articles about which they may be reasonably perceived to have a conflict of interest. The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) states in its Guidelines on Good Publication Practice (2003) as follows: ‘Conflicts of interest arise when authors, reviewers, or editors have interests that are not fully apparent and that may influence their judgments on what is published. They have been described as those which, when revealed later, would make a reasonable reader feel misled or deceived.’ Conflict of interest include any personal involvement in a case or other matter related to a manuscript under consideration for publication that may reasonably be perceived to lead to bias, such as having a meaningful financial interest in a related matter, having received funding, having an interest in the outcome of a case being discussed in a manuscript, or having a personal relationship.
