Publication Ethics Statement

Publication Ethics

The Journal of Queer and Trans Studies in Education has a commitment to publication ethics and practices consistent with the COPE Core Practices. Related to this commitment, all editors, editorial staff, and editorial board members complete publication ethics training. The journal also endorses and complies with the APA Code of Ethics and the AERA Code of Ethics. In particular, the journal fully endorses and utilizes the APA and AERA Codes of Ethics with regard to allegations of misconduct, authorship credit, complaints and appeals, conflicts of interest, data sharing and reproducibility, and research ethics.

All allegations of misconduct should be directed to the Editors, who will initiate an appropriate investigation of the allegations. Similarly, all complaints and appeals related to the peer review and publication process should be directed to the Editors, who will initiate an appropriate investigation of the allegations.

Conflicts of interest and competing interests: The journal requires that all authors, contributors, reviewers, and editorial board members disclose potential conflicts of interest as defined in the American Psychological Association position. Publications that involve an actual or potential conflict of interest must include a conflict of interest statement.

Data and reproducibility: Authors are encouraged to engage in transparent research processes. The journal also acknowledges that reproducibility, as a concept, is embedded in particular onto-epistemological considerations that may not apply to all ways of doing research or conceptualizations of knowledge. The journal encourages authors to share their data, when doing so is appropriate and ethically responsible, in compliance with both the AERA Code of Ethics and the APA Code of Ethics.

When appropriate, the journal will publish corrections or retractions to published articles.
