NOW AVAILABLE ON-DEMAND: Scaling Research Integrity Checks with Dimensions Author Check API
Supported by Digital Science, this session explores the landscape of research integrity challenges in scholarly publishing, highlighting key risk indicators
Publishers face increasing pressure to uphold research integrity amid rising submission volumes and evolving policies. Screening authors, editors, and reviewers manually can be slow, resource-intensive, and inconsistent – posing risks to editorial quality and trust.
This session will explore the current landscape of research integrity challenges in scholarly publishing, highlighting key risk indicators to watch for. We’ll introduce the Dimensions Author Check API, a scalable tool designed to help publishers automate integrity checks efficiently and consistently.
You’ll get an inside look at the tool’s development journey, the data and methodology it uses – including checks for retractions, tortured phrases, and atypical collaboration patterns – and how it can be embedded into editorial workflows to streamline researcher screening.
A live demo will bring the API to life, showing its technical capabilities and applications in real-world publishing workflows. Attendees will come away with practical ideas to enhance their integrity processes and will have the opportunity to engage with the presenters during the live Q&A.
Who Should Attend?
• Publishing technology teams (platform managers, API integration leads)
• Editorial operations managers and peer review coordinators
• Research integrity teams within academic publishing houses
• Quality assurance and compliance specialists
• Publishing strategy teams (product, innovation, and policy planning)
• Academic institutions with research integrity offices, or those exploring integrity solutions for internal processes
What You’ll Learn:
• Why the Dimensions Author Check dashboard and API were developed
• The data sources and methodology behind the tool
• How it tackles common research integrity challenges
• Ways to integrate the API into editorial workflows
• Live demo of the API in action
• Future enhancements to the API
