STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that it will implement CrossCheck, the plagiarism detection service offered by CrossRef in collaboration with iParadigms. Elsevier has invested in CrossCheck to develop, pilot and implement, a single database of published articles enabling publishers to easily verify the originality of submitted and published work.
After a successful six months pilot with eight leading publishers, the global publisher is now in the process of integrating CrossCheck into its editorial workflows as part of its efforts to support the peer review process and assist the scientific community in all aspects of publishing ethics. Elsevier will contribute nearly nine million journal articles to the CrossCheck database.
The CrossCheck database will cover over 20 million journal articles from participating publishers. This includes the Association for Computing Machinery, American Society of Neuroradiology, BMJ Publishing Group, Elsevier, Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers, International Union of Crystallography, The Journal of the American Medical Association, Nature Publishing Group, Oxford University Press, Sage, Informa UK (Taylor & Francis), and Wiley Blackwell.
