Sage adopted Dimensions Author Check, Digital Science's tool that reviews a researcher's publication history and networks for integrity red flags such as paper-mill involvement, replacing much of the manual author-verification slog.
Benefits & outcomes
Patterns of unethical behaviour surface from data rather than tip-offs.
Author verification takes less time and labour.
Another barrier between low-quality research and the published record.
Notes & quotes
"With Author Check, we'll be able to better channel our efforts alongside fair and rigorous investigation processes. I'm excited to use this tool and to be working with Digital Science to uphold trust in research." — Dr. Adya Misra, Associate Director of Research Integrity at Sage
