River Valley Technologies has released its Research Integrity Dashboard, incorporating a suite of third party tools, as well as River Valley’s own Research Integrity Checker. The configurable system is fully built into River Valley’s award winning submission and peer review system, ReView 3.0.
The Dashboard can be customized by publisher, journal, or even article type, ensuring all appropriate checks are carried out. These include third party tools such as ImageTwin and Clear Skies. The consolidated results are displayed within a single user-friendly interface.

The checks are run in parallel in the background, minimizing disruption to users.The Dashboard can also be used independently of ReView, or can be integrated with third party platforms.

- Detection of plagiarism and duplicate submission
- Citation verification
- Analysis of authors and affiliations
- Forensic analysis of body text
- Suspicious self-citation patterns
