Dimensions is pleased to announce a new partnership between Digital Science and Silverchair to advance research integrity for publishers. This collaboration integrates the Dimensions Author Check API directly into Silverchair’s ScholarOne Manuscripts platform, making powerful new tools available to the scholarly community.

This integration is part of the Silverchair Universe program and represents a significant step forward in supporting trust and transparency in academic publishing. By combining the capabilities of Dimensions with the widely used ScholarOne system, we can provide publishers with reliable, structured insights to uphold the integrity of the scholarly record.

Enhancing publisher workflows with Dimensions 

The Dimensions Author Check API is built upon Dimensions, the world’s largest interconnected global research database. It offers unparalleled transparency into the publishing and collaboration histories of authors, editors, and reviewers. With more than 9,000 journal sites using ScholarOne Manuscripts, publishers worldwide can now access these crucial insights seamlessly within their existing workflows.

Key benefits of the integration include:

  • Structured Insights: The API delivers concise, reliable information, enabling publishers to quickly identify unusual activities.
  • Early Detection: It helps spot potential issues like a history of retractions, expressions of concern, or atypical collaboration patterns early in the submission process.
  • Scalable Solution: By integrating with ScholarOne, a platform used by millions of researchers, the Author Check API offers its benefits at a scale that can have a meaningful impact on the entire academic community.

A shared commitment to research integrity

This partnership is founded on a shared goal of fortifying the foundations of scholarly communication. Supporting the integrity of the research record is vital for maintaining trust in science and scholarship. Publishers serve a critical function in this ecosystem, and providing them with effective tools is essential.

Empowering the Publishing Community

Dimensions is committed to providing solutions that help researchers, funders, and publishers navigate the complex research landscape. Our platform connects grants, publications, clinical trials, patents, and policy documents, offering a comprehensive view of the research lifecycle.

The integration of the Dimensions Author Check API into ScholarOne Manuscripts is another way we are working to empower the community. By making critical data more accessible, we help ensure that the published record is trustworthy and robust.
