Research Integrity Management: A Practical Framework for Modern Editorial Teams
Editorial integrity checks were not designed for this scale. This practical framework shows how modern editorial teams are redesigning research integrity as reliable infrastructure—not reactive firefighting.
What this framework helps you do
- Identify integrity risks earlier at the desk—before peer review time is wasted
- Combine automation and editorial judgement in workflows that actually work
- Document decisions clearly and defensibly for authors, reviewers, institutions, and funders
- Move from ad hoc checks to a scalable model that holds up as submission volumes grow
Who it’s for
- Manage journals or journal portfolios
- Are responsible for research integrity decisions
- Need systems that scale beyond individual expertise
- Want defensible, auditable editorial processes
What you’ll learn
- Why research integrity has become a workflow problem, not just an ethics issue
- How misconduct is evolving—from papermills to AI generated content—and where traditional checks fail
- A step by step editorial screening workflow, from desk review to Editor in Chief decision
- How to design a hybrid integrity model, where automation handles baseline checks and human expertise focuses on judgement
- Practical approaches to risk based triage, documentation, and author communication
