Reviewing researchers\u2019 publication histories and networks to check for research integrity issues is time-consuming, and highly manual, meaning there\u2019s always a risk you could miss something.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dimensions Author Check transforms the process. In record time, you can thoroughly review the publishing history of an author, reviewer, or editor and the people they have collaborated with, to spot any unusual activities such as retractions, expressions of concern, or atypical collaboration patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drawing from the most comprehensive research integrity dataset available, Dimensions Author Check offers unmatched transparency into publishing and collaboration histories, accessible through an intuitive and visual dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"n2-section-smartslider fitvidsignore  n2_clear\"
