Reporting concerns
For all enquiries relating to the integrity of Cambridge University Press content or COPE Core Practice areas, please contact publishingethics@cambridge.org. When concerns are raised with our Publishing Ethics team by a whistleblower concerning Cambridge University Press content, we follow the relevant COPE guidance in our response. We endeavour to handle all queries sensitively and as confidentially as possible within the scope of any necessary subsequent investigation. This includes respecting a whistleblower’s stated preference for anonymity as far as possible.
If guarantees of anonymity are required and this is possible in your country, whistleblowers may choose to raise concerns via our Speak Up! Portal. This portal is available to anyone who wishes to raise a concern (whether employed at Cambridge University Press or not), including concerns relating to publishing ethics. The confidential portal can be accessed 24/7, 365 days a year and allows for reporting in your own language.
