Scope
In the face of growing questions around research integrity in what is being termed an Age of Misinformation, several strategies that address trust in the scholarly record are being developed. The webinar participants are involved in the formation of new trust measures. These measures involve exploring algorithms for detecting trust markers in research manuscripts and labeling articles with measures of their adherence to scholarly standards. These measures have implications for developing critical information skills in educational curricula and how can libraries and publishers work together to teach and cultivate vital skills necessary for today's academic success. There’s a place, then, for new approaches, and new information standards, to ensure that research is a source of trusted information to which the public and researchers can turn with greater assurance. Join us to explore ways that stakeholders are contributing to greater access and fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment for elevating learning and integrity around the circulation of research.
Confirmed speakers include Leslie McIntosh, VP, Research Integrity, Digital Science; Jodi Schneider, PhD Informatics, Associate Professor, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign; John Willinsky, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University and Founder, Public Knowledge Project.
The program is being coordinated by NISO Education Committee Member Carolina Tanigushi, a Visual Programmer with SciELO.

Additional Information
NISO assumes organizations register as a group. The model assumes that an unlimited number of staff will be watching the live broadcast in a single location, but also includes access to an archived recording of the event for those who may have timing conflicts.
Educational program contacts and registrants receive sign-on instructions via email three business days prior to the virtual event. If you have not received your instructions by the day before an event, please contact NISO headquarters for assistance via email (nisohq@niso.org).
Registrants for an event may cancel participation and receive a refund (less $30.00) if the notice of cancellation is received at NISO HQ (nisohq@niso.org) one full week prior to the event date. If received less than 7 days before, no refund will be provided.
Links to the archived recording of the broadcast are distributed to registrants 24-48 business hours following the close of the live event. Access to that recording is intended for internal use of fellow staff at the registrant’s organization or institution. Shared resources are posted to the NISO event page.
Broadcast Platform
NISO uses the Zoom platform for purposes of broadcasting our live events. Zoom provides apps for a variety of computing devices (tablets, laptops, etc.) To view the broadcast, you will need a device that supports the Zoom app. Attendees may also choose to listen just to audio on their phones. Sign-on credentials include the necessary dial-in numbers, if that is your preference. Once notified of their availability, recordings may be downloaded from the Zoom platform to your machine for local viewing.
