IOP Publishing (IOPP) has developed a machine-learning powered tool to help detect duplicate peer review reports, addressing a growing threat to research integrity in scholarly publishing. Duplicate peer reviews (where the same reviewer report is sent for multiple submissions) are problematic because they fail to provide a unique and critical assessment of a manuscript, making the peer […]

A new study published in the peer reviewed journal Surface Topography: Metrology and Properties introduces a pioneering, non‑invasive technique that can distinguish authentic artworks from forgeries, offering museums, collectors and auction houses a major advantage in tackling art fraud. The study, developed at the Université Polytechnique Hauts-de-France introduces a method that analyses the microscopic “texture” of a painting by converting high-resolution images into 3D‑like maps allowing researchers to measure […]

New research reveals that ‘foundation models’ trained on vast, general time‑series data may be able to forecast river flows accurately, even in regions with little or no local hydrological records. The approach could improve flood warnings, drought planning and water-resource management in parts of the world where monitoring data is limited. The study, published in Machine Learning: Earth, […]

A new study spanning eleven years of data has revealed a clear link between wildfire smoke pollution and an increase in violent assaults in Seattle. Published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, these findings represent the first direct causal evidence that short-term exposure to wildfire-driven air pollution can increase interpersonal violence in an urban environment. As wildfires intensify around the world due to climate change, Lion […]

A group of PhD physics students from the University of Bath recently spent a day at the IOP Publishing office in Bristol, stepping briefly beyond the world of academia to explore what might come next. They arrived not just to listen, but to understand how others had made the transition from doctoral research into careers […]

Every colleague brings different experiences, including caring responsibilities for children, ageing parents, partners or loved ones. To support colleagues balancing work and care, IOP Publishing (IOPP) created the Family and Carers employee resource group (ERG). The group offers a space to share experiences, raise awareness and build community. We spoke to members of the group about the realities of caregiving and the […]
