Integrated service providers and platforms
Articles published in our journals are of the highest quality – a standard we are committed to maintaining. To ensure this, we collaborate with top external service providers:

CrossMark All published articles are enriched with a record of the current article status.
Figshare To meet the data deposition requirements of our authors and help them showcase their research data outputs, a Figshare widget is embedded on all articles pages, enabling readers to view supplemental data alongside the article.
iThenticate All submitted articles are checked for plagiarism and that they adhere to quality standards.
