Elevating Research Integrity with Identity Verification
Tuesday February 11, 2025 1:30pm - 2:45pm EST
Waterview AB
A critically important, but often overlooked, component of research integrity is verifying researcher identities.  Significant efforts have been made over the last few years into checking the content of manuscript submissions. However, most scholarly publishers require little more than a working email address to allow users to submit manuscripts for peer review and, if accepted, to become part of the permanent scientific record.  This implicit trust in researcher identities is now being exploited in several ways, including authors recommending fake peer reviewers or claiming false co-authors, researchers using a fake identity to apply to become a guest editor, etc.

A cross-industry working group, established by The International Association of STM Publishers and reflecting input from across our community, has developed a set of recommendations for applying more stringent identity verification steps throughout the peer review process. In this session, we will present these recommendations and engage with the audience to hear their views on their value and feasibility.
