Cactus Communications (CACTUS), a leading science communication and technology company, is working with eLife, an independent nonprofit committed to improving the way research is reviewed and communicated. This collaboration integrates CACTUS’s innovative Paperpal Preflight for Editorial Desk (PPE) technology into eLife’s editorial workflow to improve and enhance the integrity of submissions received.
PPE performs a comprehensive suite of AI-powered checks to identify potential issues or questions, complementing existing checks, before submissions are considered for peer review. Additionally, PhD-level experts audit findings to ensure a robust evaluation process. PPE also checks for language quality and technical compliance of submitted manuscripts. By combining advanced technology with human expertise, this partnership aims to uphold the standards of scholarly publishing.
Nikesh Gosalia, President, Global Academic and Publisher Relations, Cactus Communications, comments, “In an era where research integrity is under rising scrutiny, our AI-powered tool Paperpal Preflight for Editorial Desk has been developed to empower publishers in enhancing their editorial processes. This collaboration with eLife is a testament to our commitment towards supporting the academic publishing ecosystem in upholding and safeguarding the highest standards of quality and integrity of scholarly work.”
Fiona Hutton, Head of Publishing, eLife, says, “We are excited to collaborate with CACTUS and integrate its AI-powered Paperpal Preflight toolkit into our editorial workflow. This partnership highlights the value we place on research integrity and will support our rigorous processes for checking submissions.”
This collaboration is part of a broader initiative that reflects a collective determination to uphold the highest standards of academic publishing.
