November 19 and 20, 2025 | #CSESymposium25
In today’s rapidly evolving publishing landscape, “integrity” is no longer a static ideal—it’s a dynamic responsibility. This conference explores the many meanings of integrity in scholarly communication, from upholding ethics and minimizing bias to ensuring editorial independence, scientific rigor, and equitable participation. Sessions will examine evolving strategies for managing research misconduct, the impact of artificial intelligence and automation, and the structural pressures facing journals, editors, societies, and publishers. Join a global community of stakeholders to confront challenges and co-create a more trustworthy and resilient future for scholarly publishing.
