It is important for institutions and journals to communicate and collaborate effectively on all aspects of research and publication integrity. Recognising the important role that institutions have in investigating cases of suspected misconduct, but also the difficulties that sometimes arise when journals and institutions try to work together and share information on such cases, the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) has developed guidelines for cooperation between research institutions and journals on research integrity cases, also available at COPE website (http://publicationethics.org/files/Research_institutions_guidelines_final.pdf)
