CCC, a leader in advancing copyright, accelerating knowledge, and powering innovation, is partnering with Berlin-based Morressier GmbH, creators of Integrity Manager, the online publishing platform that empowers publisher clients with proactive research integrity.

“Accurate researcher identification and validation are essential for building a transparent and trustworthy scholarly publishing ecosystem,” said Sami Benchekroun, CEO and founder, Morressier. “By partnering with CCC, we’re taking a significant step towards achieving this goal and ensuring that research is traceable, reliable, and accessible to all.”

CCC is developing a researcher identification and validation service to help scholarly publishers and their service providers better identify researchers, their affiliations, and research-related connections, leveraging a broad spectrum of data sources.

The service is designed to provide a globally unique PID for each researcher and can be integrated into various workflows within the publishing ecosystem. Morressier is pioneering the adoption of this service through the integration of the beta version in their research integrity workflows, according to the company.

“The scholarly publishing ecosystem needs a more accurate and systematic way to disambiguate and identify researchers, their organization affiliations, and their research-related connections,” said Emily Sheahan, vice president and managing director, CCC. “Currently, there are issues with the quality, reliability, and currency of data, and costly manual effort is involved with connecting disparate data sources to identify researchers with a quantifiable degree of confidence. CCC will be doing its part to help the scholarly publishing community meet these challenges.”

CCC’s The State of Scholarly Metadata depicts the complexities and value of scholarly publishing metadata. Based on direct input from the broader community, the report confronts the challenges around low-quality metadata, lack of metadata validation, and underutilization of PIDs that disrupt various stages of the research lifecycle. The report also highlights collaborative initiatives working to improve metadata management.
