ETFLIN is committed to fostering a positive and inclusive environment for all members of our community, including authors, reviewers, editors, and staff. We are dedicated to promoting ethical and respectful behavior and to preventing harassment of any kind, including but not limited to sexual harassment, bullying, and discrimination.

Harassment is any behavior that is unwelcome, discriminatory, and/or offensive, and that interferes with an individual’s ability to work, study, or participate in ETFLIN activities. This includes, but is not limited to, unwanted sexual advances, comments or gestures, racial or ethnic slurs, sexist comments or behavior, and intimidation or threats.

The following behaviors are strictly prohibited at all times in ETFLIN activities and communication channels:

1. Sexual harassment: Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature.

2. Bullying and discrimination: Any behavior that intimidates, degrades, or belittles an individual or a group based on their race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, religion, or other personal characteristics.

3. Retaliation: Any retaliation against an individual who reports or opposes harassment in any form.

If you experience or witness harassment in any ETFLIN activities or communication channels, please report it immediately to the Editor-in-Chief or the publisher. We take all reports of harassment seriously and will promptly investigate and take appropriate action, which may include but is not limited to revoking an individual’s access to ETFLIN activities and communication channels.

All reports of harassment will be handled confidentially and with respect for the privacy of the individuals involved, to the extent possible. However, we may need to share information with relevant parties to conduct a thorough investigation and take appropriate action.
