Manuscript submissions are surging—millions of extra papers entering editorial workflows every year.   This reflects the growth of global research, but also creates two pressing challenges: 👉 Desk check overload: editors stretched to reject unsuitable manuscripts quickly 👉 Integrity risks: fraudulent or AI-generated content slipping through   The answer lies in upstream intervention—automating repetitive checks and focusing human expertise where it matters most.   Full article in comments   #PeerReview #ScholarlyPublishing #ResearchIntegrity

Reviewer Fatigue is on the Rise — Recognition is Part of the Solution   In his article published in Research Information, our VP of Strategy and Growth, Ashutosh Ghildiyal, explored the deeper causes of reviewer burnout — and what the industry can do to address it.   Reviewer fatigue isn’t just about volume of requests. It stems from a lack of meaning, motivation, and recognition. When reviewers feel their contributions are invisible or undervalued, the result is not just delay — it’s disengagement. The solution? 👉 Make peer review aspirational, not transactional 👉 Link recognition to career visibility 👉 Use AI to reduce cognitive friction, not replace critical insight 👉 Engage and train new reviewer pools from the global south 👉 Build campaigns that elevate the role of reviewers in scholarly communication While AI will undoubtedly play a bigger role in peer review, trust, novelty, and critical thinking will remain human domains. Recognition ensures those humans stay motivated and engaged.   📖 Read the full article: link in comments #PeerReview #ReviewerRecognition #ReviewerFatigue #ScholarlyPublishing

Protecting the Integrity of Scientific Publishing, One Image at a Time Scientific images, whether micrographs, Western blots, or gels, are critical to supporting research claims. But image manipulation, whether accidental or intentional, can undermine trust in published work.   At Integra, we help publishers safeguard research credibility with our Image Screening Services. Our expert reviewers conduct detailed forensic analyses to detect: 👉 Duplications 👉 Deletions 👉 Undisclosed alterations   Using a hybrid approach that combines cutting-edge tools with subject matter expertise, we ensure accurate and high-confidence assessments. Each image undergoes rigorous screening, and our reports provide transparency and clarity to support editorial decisions during the peer review process.   Result: Fewer corrections and retractions. Stronger editorial oversight. Greater confidence in the published record. Let’s raise the bar for research integrity, one pixel at a time. #ResearchIntegrity #ScientificPublishing #ImageScreening #PeerReview #ScholarlyPublishing #STM #EditorialSupport #Integra

Editorial teams today face more submissions, greater complexity, and higher scrutiny than ever before. The answer isn’t replacing human expertise—it’s designing AI–human workflows where machines handle repetitive tasks, and humans lead with judgment, context, and ethics. Our 8-stage AI–Human framework reimagines peer review: Intake & Screening → AI validates, humans assess Filtering & Prioritization → AI triages, humans focus Reviewer Selection → AI suggests, editors confirm Peer Review → AI supports, reviewers critique Decision-Making → AI informs, humans decide Quality Checks → AI assists, editors finalize The future isn’t AI vs. human—it’s AI + human, working together to enhance trust, efficiency, and scalability in scholarly publishing. 🔗 Link in comments   #AI #Publishing #PeerReview #EditorialIntegrity #ScholarlyCommunication
