Research Integrity by Design – Leveraging Structure and Technology for Publishing Workflows

In this video, DCL's Mark Gross, Madalina Pop from Morressier, and Adrian Stanley from Clear Skies discuss the critical topic of research integrity in the context of publishing workflows. They explore the growing attention on integrity issues, fueled by advancements in technology that both facilitate and combat research misconduct. The conversation delves into various forms of misconduct, the role of technology and human intervention in detecting these issues, and the importance of integrating integrity measures throughout the research and publication processes.

• Research integrity issues have been a longstanding concern, with increased attention in recent years due to technological advancements that both facilitate and detect misconduct.

• The role of technology in research integrity is to provide signals and indicators for potential misconduct, but human intervention is still necessary to make informed decisions based on these signals.

• Standards, metadata, and structured workflows are crucial in managing the increasing volume of research publications and ensuring integrity from the onset of the submission process.
