The partnership reflects a shared commitment to helping publishers address growing challenges related to research quality, integrity, and trust in the scholarly record. As research output continues to grow and editorial workflows become more complex, publishers require integrated solutions that combine technology, data, and human expertise to evaluate research efficiently and responsibly. Through this collaboration, Enago and Signals will work together to deliver a&nbsp;suite&nbsp;of integrity solutions for the global publishing community. Enago brings decades of expertise and&nbsp;a deep&nbsp;understanding of&nbsp;the&nbsp;research ecosystem, delivering value through its content services and AI-products.&nbsp;Enago Reports, its flagship product, is a multi-technology manuscript credibility assessment platform that helps publishers evaluate submissions for content and structural integrity.&nbsp;Signals’ technology&nbsp;and data driven insights help publishers evaluate research quality and detect potential integrity risks. The partnership will enable&nbsp;a comprehensive solution combining each other’s strengths.&nbsp;&nbsp; Investing in Signals is a strategic step forward for Enago and a natural extension of our shared vision to strengthening research quality evaluation,” said Abhigyan Arun, CEO of Enago. “We are excited about the impact we will create together by combining advanced technology with human expertise"Elliott Lumb, co-founder of Signals, said: “The research ecosystem needs comprehensive solutions to protect the scholarly record from the rising volume of integrity risks.
