Dr Suzanne Farley has been appointed to this newly created role.
Starting August 13, 2018, Suzanne will lead the Springer Nature Research Integrity Group which is responsible for working with editors and publishers to maintain the integrity of the published record, preventing misconduct and encouraging sound and reliable research practices.
Working with editorial teams across Springer Nature, the Research Integrity Group provides support and advice on best practice and ethical conduct in research, along with evaluating the publisher's editorial practices and policies.
The new position will call for a mix of practical knowledge and expertise, which Suzanne brings through a wealth of experience in her previous roles as an editor in the Nature Reviews division and her more recent position as Executive Editor for Scientific Reports.
