STM Week 2021 – Innovations Seminar

Tools for Trust; new standards and innovations for Research Integrity

Publishers as stewards of Research Integrity are strong promotors of Open Science in their role to advance trusted research. In order to ensure and vet the integrity of research, it is important that all stakeholders in scholarly communications work closely together. Today’s program will shed light on new initiatives to ensure research integrity in peer review, the sharing of data, in clear retraction policies and in the detection of image manipulation.

At the end of the day, please join the flash talks by 5 start-up companies, each nominated for the Vesalius Innovations Award by Karger Publishers in close cooperation with STM. The Award is for a promising innovation in medical publishing and health care.
