🧵 4/5

Our commitment to #ResearchIntegrity continues beyond publication.

When concerns are raised, our editors, along with PLOS’ central Publication Ethics team investigate in line with #COPE guidance—issuing corrections, retractions, or notices as needed.

🧵 2/5

Rigorous editorial screening is our first safeguard.

40% of manuscripts are rejected before #PeerReview for non-compliance with PLOS policies, including those on ethics, research reporting, and integrity.

This protects authors, readers, and the scientific record.
