Sustained submission growth, AI-assisted manuscript preparation, paper mill activity, and evolving reviewer manipulation are increasing research integrity risk across scholarly publishing. Traditional checkpoint-based safeguards such as similarity screening and manual reviewer vetting remain necessary but are insufficient in high-volume environments. Connected oversight integrates structured submission triage, validated ORCID authentication, contributor role alignment, portfolio-level reviewer analytics, early-stage image and data verification, structured AI-use metadata, and formal Research Integrity governance aligned with COPE guidance. Scalable research integrity depends on integrated systems, standardized metadata, and portfolio-wide visibility embedded across the publishing lifecycle.
