** Coordinating multi-journal complaints
------------------------------------------------------------
Complaints received from whistleblowers can develop into large investigations with multiple journals, editors, and publishers involved. Such complaints may involve many articles from a single author group or multiple author groups whose articles are linked by certain traits. Some journals or publishers may only have one or two papers involved but others may have tens of articles in question.
Current guidance on information sharing between editors states that sharing may be appropriate if more than one journal is thought to be involved. However, it is not clear how this information sharing could, or should, lead to coordinated action between editors.
* How much consideration should an editor give to the wider context of the complaint, outside of their own journal and/or publisher?
* At what point, if ever, in a large multi-publisher investigation should editors coordinate their actions? How could editors efficiently coordinate actions without slowing the correction of the scientific record unnecessarily?
Whether or not you plan to attend the Forum, please add your comments to the discussion.
