Editors should recuse themselves (i.e. should ask a coeditor, associate editor or other member of the editorial board instead to review and consider) from considering manuscripts in which they have confl icts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or (possibly) institutions connected to the papers. Vigilance over Published Record An editor presented with convincing evidence that the substance or conclusions of a published paper are erroneous should coordinate with the publisher (and/or society) to promote the prompt publication of a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other note, as may be relevant.
