Rigorous standards and processes

Trust in research is critical to advancing human progress. We have established rigorous standards and support researchers, editors and peer reviewers to adopt best practice at all stages of the research and publishing process.

A firm focus on quality

In 2023, three million manuscripts were submitted to our 2,900 journals and our editors only published 630,000 after validation and peer review. This focus on quality research is also reflected in the fact that articles published in our journals account for over 17% of global research output and 28% of citations. Furthermore, over the last 10 years, the number of submissions we received has grown by approximately 10%, while the number of published articles has increased by 6%.

A commitment to the academic record

We also have comprehensive monitoring systems and processes in place to ensure that our already published research meets our high standards, and we are committed to correcting the scientific record when those standards are not met.
