Paper mills are a growing ethical phenomenon in scholarly publishing, and are increasingly harder to detect. To help mitigate this risk at submission, Aries Systems and Clear Skies are pleased to announce their partnership to offer publishers an advanced research fraud detection solution by integrating Papermill Alarm with Editorial Manager.
It is essential for publishers and societies to optimize communication to maximize engagement from Authors, Reviewers, and their Editors. To support this, we consulted with our user community to understand how they define successful engagement, communications channels they use in and outside the system, and what new avenues can be explored.
While workflow management systems are robust and flexible, they can also be complex and overwhelming – especially to new users. To help make our solutions more intuitive and improve the user support experience, we sat down with our user community to learn where the most frequent challenges lie and what types of in-app services can be leveraged.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in scholarly publishing has been a hot topic in recent years, but it can be difficult to know where to start without hard data. Together with our user community, we discussed their use of the inclusionary data collection schemas in EM and how they intend to analyze this self-reported data to support their DEI strategies.
Integrity in scholarly publishing has never been more critical or more challenging. To better grasp how Aries can help, we collaborated with our user community to learn about what serves as indicators of integrity issues, which signals and issues appear most often, how they manage investigations, and what solutions could be introduced to support trust.
