Dimensions is pleased to announce that Emerald Publishing has adopted Dimensions Author Check to further strengthen its commitment to responsible and ethical publishing.
Dimensions Author Check enables publishers to incorporate research integrity checks into editorial workflows, providing immediate insights into the publishing and collaboration histories of authors, editors, and reviewers. The tool is powered by Dimensions, the world’s largest interconnected global research database, and delivers data through an intuitive and visual dashboard.
Emerald will use the Author Check dashboard to support its due diligence processes when developing and reviewing new special issue proposals. The tool helps verify academic credentials, publication history, and editorial experience, ensuring alignment with Emerald’s editorial standards and ethical policies.
The solution also plays a key role in editor succession planning and commissioning by offering detailed insights into potential candidates’ research networks and impact. By using Author Check, Emerald aims to enhance transparency in editorial decision-making while improving efficiency and reducing manual effort.
The adoption of Dimensions Author Check reflects a growing trend in the publishing industry to adopt data-driven tools that safeguard the integrity of the scholarly record.
