Due to a parade of GDPR issues, pre-submission text similarity screening of manuscripts destined for publication has been unavailable at CBS for the better part of the past two years.
Although the issues to some extent persist, CBS has managed to come up with a new and pragmatic solution that allows us to resume screening without compromising any personal and sensitive data.
The new procedure requires the removal of author names, organizational affiliations, and other personal identifiers from manuscripts before they are submitted for screening to ithenticate@cbs.dk.
A dedicated screening team will undertake the screening process itself and share the ensuing report with the author/team of authors, who will then be able to make the relevant adaptations before submission to a publisher. The screening team will of course be at hand to help decipher reports, if necessary.
For CBS authors/researchers who used iThenticate before it was discontinued at CBS, the biggest change lies in the centralization of the screening process. They will no longer be able to screen under their own steam and with a personal password but will have to submit the modified manuscript to ithenticate@cbs.dk.
