An editorial triaging assistant
for STM publishers

Layered integrity infrastructure for real publishing conditions

Integrity Central is composed of a combination of systems — rule engines, ML, LLMs, and human-in-the-loop oversight — for integrity checks across the workflow.

Technology that amplifies editorial and production expertise

Integrity Central supports informed decision-making with an editorial experience that is consistent and reliable.

A continuous
chain of trust with
integrity as a thread

Integrity Central safeguards integrity from submission to the post-acceptance stage with a threaded approach.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

How Integrity Central carries out checks across the workflow

Submissions are up, and so are the risks to research integrity. Editors are spending hours on checks that don’t need their judgment.

Integrity Central clears that layer. Every manuscript gets a red, amber, or green signal across the integrity indicators that matter, so editors know where to take a closer look.
