Complaints About Publication Ethics

The editorial team of the Philipp J Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg follows guidelines published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (https://publicationethics.org/guidance) and complaints about researchers, authors, reviewers, or handling editors should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief (pjohns@pso-hns.org). The Editor-in-Chief may consult the Editorial Team of the Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery and/or the Philippine Society of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery, as well as the Philippine Association of Medical Journal Editors (PAMJE), Asia Pacific Association of Medical Journal Editors (APAME), World Association of Medical Editors (WAME), or Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) for advice on difficult or complicated cases. For complaints about researchers, authors, reviewers, or another editor, the Editor-in-Chief decides on a course of action and provides feedback to the complainant. Complaints about the Editor-in-Chief may be addressed directly to the Board of Trustees of the Philippine Society of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery (psohns@pso-hns.org). If the complainant remains dissatisfied with the handling of their complaint, they can submit the complaint to the Committee on Publication Ethics.
