1 The EGU Code of Conduct benefitted from the following sources: • The AGU Policy on Scientific Integrity and Professional Ethics; • The Code of Conduct of the European Research Council; • The Code of Conduct for expert evaluators of the European Research Council; • The Code of Conduct of the Society for Sedimentary Geology; • The Code of Conduct of the AdvanceGEO Partnership; and • The Joint EGU-. [...] In particular, the EGU subscribes to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and adheres to the COPE's Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors as well as the Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers. [...] In their first interaction with the reporting person, the EGU President and the EGU Person of Trust may collect additional information, outline options forward, and—if it is believed that the allegation may constitute scientific misconduct—may file a case with the EGU Ethics Committee according to the rules outlined in the present document and the applicable laws in force. [...] If the allegation received by the EGU also involves an activity that violates the code of law in the relevant countries and/or the ethical codes of other institutions where the alleged incident occurred, the EGU will work with all appropriate authorities according to the laws in force to resolve the allegation. [...] The EGU President will ensure that the case is reconsidered by an ad-hoc committee formed by the President, who serves as an ex-officio member, and three EGU Council members other than the EGU Executive Secretary, the EGU General Secretary and the EGU Person of Trust.
