by detecting manuscripts found to violate accepted academic research integrity norms, serving as an ‘early warning system’ for integrity issues by analyzing manuscripts for submitted publication to participating scholarly journals, through:

• Technology and screening infrastructure
• Secure, protected environment that protects data privacy and is consistent with competition laws
• Policies & frameworks
• A modular platform to safeguard research integrity for all

to protect the scientific record. The STM Integrity Hub is an accessible and secure means to identify manuscripts that violate accepted research integrity standards before getting further into the publication cycle and ecosystem — legally, adequately and efficiently.

• Saved time and resources 
• Easy access to information, data and tools
• Helpful resources to get started
• A means to protect the scholarly record,

to new threats through a flexible, innovative system architecture — a hub — that integrates with a wide range of specific and individually chosen screening tools. This supports versatility and adaptability to respond as new threats arise. This is accomplished through:

• Flexible system architecture
• Ease of integration with other systems & tools
• A scalable, versatile framework
