Refs recently added to lead[edit]

This edit added several references and removed all the work needed tags. The WP:OVERCITE is not the best way to establish notability, but let's look at the references:

https://publicationethics.org/core-practices
- this is a self-reference
Peer Review and Manuscript Management in Scientific Journals: Guidelines for Good Practice | publisher=Wiley | year=2008 | isbn=978-0-470-75026-1 | url=https://books.google.com.br/books?id=cz3KZ--RajQC&pg=PA269
- This is mostly a quote and seems to be a minor rephrasing of COPE's own self-description at https://publicationethics.org/files/u7141/1999pdf13.pdf
Getting Research Published: An A to Z of Publication Strategy | publisher=Radcliffe Publishing | series=Radcliffe Series | year=2010 | isbn=978-1-84619-408-5 | url=https://books.google.com.br/books?id=Cda56DOkVwsC&pg=PA40
- This does sound like the authors made a summary in their own words and possibly did some fact-checking.
Fostering Integrity in Research | publisher=National Academies Press | year=2018 | isbn=978-0-309-39125-2 | url=https://books.google.com.br/books?id=XxVEDwAAQBAJ&pg=PP1
- This uses COPE as a reference, so it does tend to support COPE as being notable.
Bioethics: Medical, Ethical and Legal Perspectives | publisher=IntechOpen | year=2016 | isbn=978-953-51-2847-2 | url=https://books.google.com.br/books?id=NfiODwAAQBAJ&pg=PP1
- COPE used as a reference; page 46 "COPE has provided some very authentic guidlines addressing..."
Promoting Research Integrity in a Global Environment | publisher=World Scientific | year=2012 | isbn=978-981-4340-97-7 | url=https://books.google.com.br/books?id=uhBqDQAAQBAJ&pg=PP1
- Refers to COPE several times.

So yes, notability does seem to be established. But there are still essentially no inline references in the body of the article supporting most of the claims. The main claim established is that "COPE is often cited", which doesn't establish what COPE really does nor not. The 'primary' and 'sources' tags are still needed (ironically, for an organisation aiming to promote publications ethics...) Boud (talk) 13:34, 2 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
