As high profile cases about image integrity problems in scientific papers become more frequent, the community must consider how to overcome the issues with the manual image review process and the benefits of AI in rapidly detecting, and potentially preventing, these issues.
Today, Alice Meadows talks to Gaelle Bequet, Director of the ISSN International Centre, for our ongoing Kitchen Essentials series, featuring interviews with leaders of scholarly infrastructure organizations.
Christos Petrou presents evidence suggesting that growth in retractions has not been universal across regions and subject areas, and it is primarily driven by the industrial-scale activity of papermills (rather than the activity of individual researchers) and the growth of research from China.
Robert Harington discusses the value of preprints, the importance of peer review, research integrity and openness.
Promoting research integrity is not just identifying bad behavior: problem articles can also be detected by the absence of ‘honest’ signals of integrity.
The 2025 policy continues 2021 compliance requirements while also imposing additional mandates and eliminating financial support for open access publishing.
While the BMGF may be all-in, from an industry perspective the Gates Policy Refresh represents a small but potentially valuable experiment.
In today’s Kitchen Essentials post, Alice Meadows interviews Tasha Mellins-Cohen, Executive Director of COUNTER Metrics (formerly Project COUNTER), which plays a critical role in enabling consistent usage metrics reporting.
The federal government is mandating that the knowledge and data produced from federal grants be widely available for our collective good. Libraries remain under-resourced to make this happen. Let’s add some new metrics and language to this narrative to help articulate the value of libraries.

Leslie McIntosh names the emerging field of forensic scientometrics.
Research journals and the peer review process should not be the first line of defense in identifying research integrity issues. In today’s post, Angela Cochran calls for research institutions to take a larger role in validation and integrity checks.
The nationwide audit of retracted articles in China underscores the interconnectedness of stakeholders within the research ecosystem and emphasizes the importance of aligning incentives and priorities to foster a culture of integrity and accountability. Can similar efforts be applied globally to cultivate a culture of accountability and transparency?
