SciScore integrates with Rockefeller University Press
Authors of articles invited for revision at JCB, JEM, or JGP will be able to use SciScore to improve their materials and methods sections. Our integration with SciScore reflects our commitment to seek new technologies that support our mission of quality and integrity in scientific publishing.”
— Susan King, RUP Executive Director SAN DIEGO, CA, USA, April 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- To improve the reproducibility of the articles in its journals, Rockefeller University Press has integrated SciScore into its editorial workflow management system, eJournalPress. Authors whose submitted articles are invited for revisions at Journal of Cell Biology (JCB), Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), and Journal of General Physiology (JGP) will now be able to utilize SciScore at no cost to them. This automated and multifaceted tool evaluates scientific manuscripts for adherence to several key reporting criteria for rigor and reproducibility introduced by funding agencies over the past years (e.g. NIH, MDAR, ARRIVE, CONSORT, and RRID standards).
Based on artificial intelligence and deep learning technology, SciScore’s solution to the reproducibility crisis is aimed at reducing the burden on authors and editors alike.
“As a company that works closely with society and university publishers, we know the value of trust in scientific research,” says Anita Bandrowski, a neuroscience researcher at the University of California, San Diego, and CEO of SciScore. “With SciScore, authors can be confident that their manuscripts are meeting the highest standards of transparency and reproducibility. This partnership with Rockefeller University Press is a significant step towards improving the quality of scientific research and enhancing trust in the publishing process.”
SciScore provides a score and supporting report that can be used to identify if key areas of reproducibility and transparency are addressed in the manuscript. SciScore looks for evidence of randomization, blinded conduct of the experiment, sample size estimation, whether sex is included as a biological characteristic, animal/cell line authentication or validation, and verifies the identity of the antibodies used, among other areas.
“Our goal in partnering with SciScore is to streamline the process for our authors to address any reproducibility issues ahead of publication so that their research is presented in the best possible manner for the benefit of the greater scientific community,” says RUP Executive Director Susan King. “This new integration with SciScore reflects our commitment to seek new technologies that support our mission of quality and integrity in scientific publishing.”
