Preserving the Integrity of the Scholarly Record: Opportunities for Editors

Thursday, 15 May 2025, 11.15am-12.00pm

How can research stakeholders keep up with the rapid proliferation of scholarly outputs online to reliably distinguish quality from questionable content?

Complete, correct, and comprehensive scholarly metadata plays a critical role in this process. In addition to providing context and evidence about scholarly items, rich metadata also supports the assessment of the trustworthiness of published outputs. During this panel-style session, speakers discussed key metadata that all journal publishers should seek to adopt in the coming years and frameworks for leveraging metadata to advance research connectivity, transparency, and integrity now and in the future.
