Enhancing Partnerships of Institutions and Journals: A US Perspective for Best Practices

The Ohio State University, Northwestern University, and George Washington University, coordinated a series of virtual meetings for a Working Group, Enhancing Partnerships of Institutions and Journals, composed of senior, experienced US RIOs, journal editors, and publishing staff who are familiar with managing integrity issues in publications. The goal of the Working Group was to identify best practices for improving the transparency and collaboration between RIOs and journals to ensure that research misconduct and publication ethics are properly and efficiently managed.
