ScholarOne Relay introduces a powerful, flexible platform that enhances editorial and peer review processes with a consistent, modern interface. Leveraging the integration benefits of the Silverchair Universe program, these inaugural partnerships all offer innovative solutions that strengthen editorial reputation while preserving valuable editorial resources.
ScholarOne Manuscripts customers will be able to select the research integrity checks they need to safeguard their editorial processes directly within the application.
“Our focus on research integrity reflects the urgency of these issues and Silverchair’s broader mission to protect and preserve the scholarly record,” said Josh Dahl, SVP of Product and General Manager, ScholarOne at Silverchair. “The collaborative nature of these research integrity partnerships will allow customers the flexibility they need, and the agility to try new solutions without added complexities or workarounds. We’re proud to work with these partners to offer a wide range of integrity checks for all our customers.”
Workflow integrations like this have great value to all participants. Tiago Barros, co-founder of Signals stated: “At Signals we strongly believe that delivering transparent, actionable research integrity evaluation of manuscripts, when and where publishers need them, is a crucial step towards restoring trust in research. We are thrilled to work closely with the ScholarOne team and our Publisher partners to prevent the publication of problematic articles and uphold the integrity of the scholarly record”
Nikesh Gosalia, President, Global Academic & Publisher Relations at Cactus Communications, shared more about how proactive checks can save time and resources while improving quality: “Ensuring research integrity is paramount in scholarly publishing. Paperpal Preflight for Editorial Desk, now used by over 20 publishers and societies, deploys a unique composite scoring methodology to instantly flag compromised manuscripts. Our partnership with Silverchair reflects a strategic move to extend this proven technology to more publishers, empowering editorial teams to proactively identify potential risks, expedite decision-making, and maintain the highest standards of quality and trust.”
Adam Day, Founder of Clear Skies, spoke to the expanding collaboration: “We’re delighted to expand our collaboration with ScholarOne. Integrating Papermill Alarm and Oversight into their workflows allows publishers to shift from reactive investigation to proactive screening and decision-making. It’s a practical, scalable solution that supports both operational efficiency and trust in the scholarly record.”
Hannah Heckner Swain, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Silverchair, added: “Partnership is at the heart of our culture and mission at Silverchair. I’m excited to see the first tangible outputs from our newly expanded Silverchair Universe program come to life with these integrity checks, especially as they address such a pressing issue for so many of our publishers and editors. As technology continues to advance scholarly publishing, it is critical that we – as platforms and service providers – prioritize interoperability and collaboration.”
An initial round of customers are currently using these research integrity partnerships directly in the ScholarOne application. ScholarOne customers interested in exploring these offerings should reach out to their account manager.
