Towards Ethical Academic Publishing and Dissemination

Challenging corruption and malpractice in academic publishing and dissemination is crucial, because the reliability of academic publications, and presentations at conferences and in the media, provide fundamental building blocks for innovative research.

The recent unprecedented rise in the number of retractions affecting major and highly reputable scientific publishers indicates the scale of the problem affecting academia. As this is a global phenomenon, a global response is needed.

This presentation will explore factors and policies that are driving and motivating unethical conduct in academic publishing and dissemination, leading towards a global action plan.

During the last 14 years Irene has led and participated in several successful research projects, mainly focused on policies for academic integrity, funded by the European Commission, Council of Europe, and Council for Higher Education Accreditation.

She is currently leading a working group for the European Network for Academic Integrity (ENAI) on Ethical Publishing and Dissemination (EPAD).

Her research interests remain in academic and research integrity, quality assurance, pedagogy, student experience, and addressing corruption in higher education.

She serves on several editorial boards and advisory groups focused on academic and research integrity and continues to conduct research, currently with funding from Canada and Europe.
