A combination of pre-screening and open access is the best possible defence against plagiarism. All articles submitted to Gateway Papers are automatically screened for plagiarism using iThenticate. This system compares incoming articles to a large database of academic content, and alerts editors to any possible issues.
Gateway Papers ensures that all research output, in both journals and books, is thoroughly peer review by external reviewers, and offer the option of open peer review if required. Publications of a commentary or opinion nature may not be sent for external peer review but will include extensive editorial review and revisions. All of our journals adhere to the COPE guidelines for best practice.
All Gateway Papers’ content is indexed with CrossRef and assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI). This means that
all of our references are made available so that citations can be tracked by
the publishing community, and the content is added to the Cross-Check
anti-plagiarism database.
All of our article metadata is openly available for harvesting by indexing
services via OAI-PMH and the
journals are registered with Open
Archives.
As members of CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots
of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) our content is regularly archived with many of the
world's leading research libraries. The CLOCKSS archive ensures that Gateway
Papers’ content will always be made available as open access, in any
eventuality.
Where relevant we automatically archive journal and book content with
subject specific archives such as PubMed
Central or Europe PMC / PMC Bookshelf.
We fully support and encourage author self-archiving of all content
(sometimes termed 'green' open access). Gateway Papers is registered with SHERPA/RoMEO to ensure that the
license terms and self-archiving policies of the journals are 100% clear.
