River Valley Technologies has released its Research Integrity Dashboard, incorporating a suite of third party tools, as well as its own Research Integrity Checker. The configurable system is built into River Valley’s award winning submission and peer review system, ReView 3.0.

The dashboard can be customised by publisher, journal, or even article type, ensuring all appropriate checks are carried out. These include third-party tools such as ImageTwin and Clear Skies. The consolidated results are displayed within a single interface.

The integration into ReView 3.0 allows publishers and editorial offices to check submitted content automatically or ad hoc and at any stage, including submission, revision, and in the production stage. The checks are run in parallel in the background, aiming to minimise disruption to users.The Dashboard can also be used independently of ReView, or can be integrated with third party platforms.

Key features of the Research Integrity Dashboard include:

  • Detection of plagiarism and duplicate submission
  • Citation verification
  • Analysis of authors and affiliations
  • Forensic analysis of body text
  • Suspicious self-citation patterns
  • Granular analysis of references
  • Detection of AI-generated content

River Valley has already submitted some 4,000 animations of questionable images on PubPeer. The Research Integrity Dashboard integrates with existing workflows, offering both large and small publishers a scalable, customisable approach to safeguarding research ethics.

River Valley’s Kaveh Bazargan commented: “Research integrity has never been more critical to the academic community. Publishers are under immense pressure to maintain high standards of ethical publishing while handling an increasing volume of submissions. Our Research Integrity Dashboard is designed to meet that challenge head-on, offering a robust, scalable solution that supports the integrity of research communication from start to finish. River Valley’s experience of handling complex scholarly content gives us a major advantage in spotting anomalies”

ReView 3.0 has been selected as a finalist in the SSP 2025 EPIC Awards.
