The STM Integrity Hub is shared infrastructure for publishers to screen manuscripts collectively — duplicate submissions, paper-mill signals — on the logic that fraud that spans publishers can't be caught by publishers working alone.
Benefits & outcomes
Over 35 supporting organisations, 100+ people in working groups and governance.
Screening over 20,000 manuscript submissions per month.
Duplicate-submission detection rate above 1%, expected to rise as more publishers join.
Integrates Clear Skies' Papermill Alarm and the PubPeer database; crowd-sourced watchlist of fake domains and email addresses in development.
Notes & quotes
"Publishers need to work collaboratively to act on a strategy of prevention and identification, keeping fraudulent research out of the scholarly record." — Chris Graf, Director of Research Integrity, Springer Nature
