For Authors - Ethical charter

The Journal of Nonsmooth Analysis and Optimization adheres to the Code of Practice of the European Mathematical Society. In particular, the journal publishes original articles that have not been published elsewhere (preprints on institutional or public repositories do not count for this purpose). Any form of plagiarism implies rejection of the article and may be brought before the Ethics Committee of the EMS; this includes but is not limited to

• outright plagiarism (presenting the work of other researchers, whole or in part, as one's own, either verbatim or rephrased);
• self-plagiarism (presenting one's own previously published work, whole or in part, as novel);
• deliberate replication of already known results and concepts, whole or in part, under new names or in new notation, without a appropriate reference and justification.

The journal is also committed to a transparent and fair peer review process. Any failure to uphold this standard by reviewers or editors should (with appropriate documentation) be immediately brought to the attention of the Managing Editors, who will investigate the claim and if necessary discuss further steps with the Advisory Board.
