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.
Technical Assessment
Technical checks for completeness, usability, and structural integrity of manuscripts
Checks for compliance to journal/publisher standards
Performed at the submission stage as well as the post-acceptance stage
Integrity Assessment
Authorship checks for real authors and real research
Citation checks for real and relevant references
Image screening checks for image manipulation, duplication, and AI use (with Imagetwin)
Checks for data integrity (with DataSeer)
Editorial Assessment
Provides a manuscript summary
Checks for novelty, methodology, and significance
Analysis of problem addressed and proposed solution of the research, along with key findings
Editorial assistance for various decisions, at various stages
Unified platform,
modular design
A single interface with a modular architecture for integrity checks across stages, suppliers, and editors. For a consistent and predictable editorial experience.
Visual triaging with
decision buckets
Submissions are assessed and organised into colour-coded buckets based on next actions, so editors know which articles to examine more closely and what to look for.
Calibrated for fewer errors in detection
Reduced noise from false positives and fewer risks posed by false negatives with an ensemble module that ranks findings by severity and certainty.
Built for the research integrity universe
Built to engage with the entirety of the research integrity universe in scholarly publishing: authorship integrity, citation integrity, image integrity, data integrity, and content integrity.
