Wiley, a global leader in research, publishing, and knowledge solutions, and the Retraction Watch Database, a project of the Center for Scientific Integrity, have announced a new integration aimed at enhancing research integrity. Edifix, a software application developed by Wiley for reference lists, now integrates with the Retraction Watch Database to alert users when citations to retracted content appear in authors' submitted reference lists. This integration provides users with valuable information to take appropriate action regarding the flagged citations.
As a knowledge company committed to research integrity, Wiley is investing heavily in publishing tools and solutions that support transparency and ensure the integrity of research content. The integration between Edifix and the Retraction Watch Database represents one of the industry's most comprehensive tools for detecting citations to retracted works. This integration empowers authors, editors, and other stakeholders to make informed decisions and protect the integrity of research content.
The Retraction Watch Database, a project of the Center for Scientific Integrity, is dedicated to promoting transparency and integrity in science and scientific publishing. By integrating with Edifix, the Retraction Watch Database ensures that users have access to comprehensive and accurate retraction data, allowing them to make informed decisions at every stage of the research process.
Edifix simplifies the task of correcting, formatting, and linking reference lists, freeing authors and editors to focus on other important aspects of editing. Embedded within Wiley's ReX Submission, an intelligent article submission system, Edifix streamlines editorial operations and optimizes the submission workflow for the benefit of authors and publishers.
The integration with the Retraction Watch Database adds another layer of retraction data beyond self-reported data provided by publishers. This automated integrity check provides publishers with a powerful research integrity mechanism, enhancing their ability to ensure the reliability and credibility of published research.
The integration of Edifix with the Retraction Watch Database reinforces Wiley's commitment to research integrity and its ongoing efforts to support transparency and trust in scientific publishing. By empowering users with information about retracted works, Wiley aims to promote a culture of integrity and contribute to the overall reliability of scientific research.
