Trust through verification: Implementing STM’s researcher identity framework

Scholarly publishing depends on trust. Trust that those submitting, reviewing, and editing papers are who they claim to be and that they’re acting with integrity. But in the age of AI and paper mills, this trust is being severely tested.

To rebuild confidence, the scholarly publishing community needs a new approach to verifying identity. One that works for publishers of all sizes, and that doesn’t create unnecessary barriers for legitimate researchers.

This webinar brings together members of STM’s Researcher Identity Task & Finish Group. They’ll present their work on this topic and discuss what’s next.

Here’s what they’ll be sharing:

• Learn about the STM group’s verification framework and recommendations.
• Get the publishers’ perspective on adapting trust levels to different stakeholders.
• Preview ChronosHub’s new framework for integrating different validation methods.
