JOINA Q&A with STM’s Hylke Koers in Retraction Watch
A timely interview with our own Hylke Koers in Retraction Watch highlights STM’s work on strengthening research integrity in scholarly publishing.
With fraud and paper mills exploiting gaps in editorial systems, STM has developed a Researcher Identity Verification Framework—a flexible, inclusive approach to help journals and institutions verify researcher identities more reliably.
Originally released in March, the framework is now open for community consultation, and we welcome your input (by May 31). This work, produced by STM’s Richard Northover, aims to support integrity without adding unnecessary barriers.
