In an increasingly complex editorial landscape, this session presented by Matt Hodgkinson will shed light on some of the current publishing pitfalls, with focus on questionable practices such as those of predatory journals and ‘paper mills’. These examples will serve to introduce integrity notions as well as the ABC of publication ethics from a researcher’s perspective, while providing useful tools and best practice recommendations. Matt Hodgkinson is a Research Integrity Manager at the UK Research Integrity Office (UKRIO). He supports the work of the charity, including the enquiry service, the development of policies and publications, and social media. Besides his work at UKRIO, he is also a council member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and Treasurer of the European Association of Science Editors (EASE). In the past, he worked in open access science journal publishing for 18 years, developing expertise in peer review, critical appraisal, editorial policy, and publication ethics as an editor at BMC and PLOS and then heading the Research Integrity team at Hindawi.
