JMIR Publications announced a partnership with Signals Manuscript Checks to strengthen research integrity across the publisher’s full portfolio. The collaboration integrates automated manuscript-evaluation tools that help identify potential integrity concerns and support consistent editorial checks across digital-health and scientific publishing.
Through the partnership, JMIR Publications will employ Signals Manuscript Checks, a solution that delivers structured, AI-supported investigations of manuscripts to identify potential concerns related to data or authorship. The system also enables advanced investigation through Sleuth AI, Signals’ research-integrity assistant. By embedding this technology into editorial workflows, JMIR Publications aims to streamline screening processes while maintaining the highest standards of scientific quality and transparency.
The agreement reflects JMIR Publications’ continued commitment to advancing ethical publishing in digital medicine, health technology, and life sciences. The publisher’s integration of automated checks is expected to improve efficiency for editors, reduce risk of error, and support early identification of potential manipulation or duplication within submitted manuscripts. The collaboration also represents a broader movement within the scholarly communication community to deploy AI-assisted integrity solutions while preserving human editorial judgment.
Signals’ technology combines network analysis, expert knowledge, and artificial intelligence to produce structured, transparent evaluations. The partnership extends Signals’ footprint in the open-access publishing sector, reinforcing the company’s focus on helping publishers maintain accountability and protect reputational trust across research disciplines.
