Abstracts summarizing original, high-quality research of the processes used by researchers, authors, editors, peer reviewers, publishers, funders, universities, and any other stakeholders to improve the conduct, reporting, quality, integrity, and dissemination of scientific research are welcome.

The Congress program will be determined by abstracts submitted by researchers, representing the interests and work of their scientific communities, with priority given to novel, data-driven studies.

New ideas and rigorous evaluations of both old and new processes are encouraged.
