{"doi":"10.36591/se-d-4403-90","title":"Recent Updates to the CSE White Paper: Guidelines for Editor in Chief and Guest Editors of Supplements, Special Series, or Calls for Papers","abstract":"The Council of Science Editors’ (CSE) White Paper on Promoting Integrity in Scientific Journal Publications was first published in 2006, and the full document was updated in 2009 and again in 2012. In 2018, the CSE Editorial Policy Committee (EPC) began making updates on a rolling basis as new sections were added or existing sections updated to reflect new information or best practices.
