Timing and programme:
Today, we are witnessing a rise not only in the number of journals published but also in questionable publishing practices. In addition, a variety of threats to research integrity have been growing, including paper mills, image manipulation and the potential for AI abuse. Upholding research integrity is a joint effort performed by research institutions, researchers, funders, publishers, and database providers. Each must take steps to ensure the validity, accuracy, and overall authenticity of scholarly output. In this session you will discover how Clarivate has taken significant steps to foster research integrity in the Web of Science, as part of our ongoing efforts to proactively contribute to the maintenance of public trust in scientific and scholarly research. We will focus on: Editorial Journal Selection Criteria and Evaluation Process to Web of Science; Most common reasons of journal rejection; Ongoing quality control; Conference Proceeding Selection Process; Most important indexing policies.
