“Integrating STM’s Integrity Hub tools into our workflows has transformed how we scale investigations and uphold research integrity. What once took us hours of manual review can now be done in moments. These tools are not just making our work more efficient; they also help us to safeguard the quality of science at scale. The duplicate submission check, in particular, is unique as it shows the power of collaboration and what can be done when publishers come together to solve shared challenges.”

– Kim Eggleton, Head of Peer Review and Research Integrity at IOP Publishing

Learn more about the STM Integrity Hub

The STM Integrity Hub is a robust, direct response to safeguard the integrity of science. By looking at a wide variety of patterns that are indicative of paper mills or other research integrity concerns, the STM Integrity Hub offers powerful services for publishers to detect research-integrity-offending manuscripts. With those services, publishers can effectively and efficiently respond to the increasing and alarming volume of materials entering scholarly communications that violate accepted academic research integrity norms.

More specifically, the STM Integrity Hub provides a cloud-based environment for publishers to check submitted articles for research integrity issues, consistent with applicable laws and industry best practice and fully respecting the laws and ethics of data privacy and competition/anti-trust laws. The environment also offers integrations with third-party tools, which publishers may enable at their discretion.
