IEEE Publishing Ethics Team Upholds Research Integrity
['Ieee Publishing Ethics']
IEEE Spectrum
Given a rising number of publishing misconduct allegations, IEEE in 2022 created the Publishing Ethics Team as a centralized department to assist in handling claims.
The group also works to increase the organization’s visibility in the broader publishing ethics area and helps IEEE volunteers write new policies.
At a panel presentation during the Council of Science Editors annual meeting last year, Amanda Sulicz, manager of IEEE Research Integrity, participated in the Research Integrity Investigation panel session.
In this particular case, Coauthor 1 reported to the Publishing Ethics Team that the work was reused in an IEEE publication without proper credit.
Coauthor 1 also reported the case to their university’s research integrity officer (RIO) for additional investigation.
