It will challenge unethical behaviour which includes, for example, plagiarism, duplicate publication, inadequate citations, inflated self-citations, dishonest refereeing, failing to address conflicts of interest or incorrect handling of submissions. The Ethics Committee focuses on promoting ethical behaviour in mathematical research, publication, and related matters.
