Ethics in Publishing

The value of science depends on trust in the record. Andy interviews Olivia Nippe, a senior publishing ethics expert at Elsevier, about how journals and researchers are responding to image manipulation, paper mills, and the growing complexity of data. They examine authorship standards, peer review quality, and the detective work that editors and integrity teams do to protect readers and the public.

Listeners get plain-spoken guidance on good practice, from data handling and figure preparation to conflict disclosures and how to respond if concerns arise. The episode makes a strong case for transparency and for collaboration between editors, reviewers, and authors, so that research can move faster without sacrificing credibility.
