CrossCheck in Archives
Abstract
Since February 2009, Archives has joined the select community of journals that have been using CrossCheck. It consists of a plagiarism detection tool and a vast database of full-text articles, books, and conference proceedings made accessible for screening by over 129 CrossRef members, including all the world's major publishers. Figures are impressive: the database includes over 54,000 titles with tens of millions of items to screen against. The initiative started in 2007 with a pilot in response to an allegedly increasing trend of plagiarism in scholarly and scientific writing. The pilot went well and the service officially started in 2008. In 2009, 20,000 new submissions were screened against the database, and in 2010, this figure grew to no less than 100,000 manuscripts!
We have decided to screen every single submission to Archives, starting with the manuscripts included in this volume. Archives has long been committed to help authors, offering value-added manuscript editing services to non-native English speaking authors, and this is perhaps one major benefit that sets us apart from a myriad of similar scientific journals. CrossCheck is a logical and valuable addition to our services and a sign of continued commitment to excellence in scientific writing.
