Abstract: As Morris et al. (2013) indicated ‘it is a very good idea to have a policy in place for dealing with these [ethical] issues’, and based on the ethical code and flowcharts of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and our experience at Journals of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE A/B & FITEE, we have posted the 2015 JZUS-policy online (http://www.zju.edu.cn/jzus/policy.php). It includes three sections: Forms of Plagiarism, anti-plagiarism policy, and crossCheck workflow. The following is the full text of this policy.
