#ScimagoIRIS | Research integrity is not imposed: it is managed with data, governance, and strategic vision. SCImago IRIS establishes itself as a benchmarking and early-warning tool for higher education institutions, designed to transform scientometrics into an asset of institutional trust. How does the model work? 🔸Methodological framework: Z-score normalization (where 0 represents the global average), allowing complex dimensions to be compared on a standardized scale. 🔸Strategic interpretation: Positive values indicate a higher potential exposure to scientific risks, facilitating the preventive detection of unusual patterns and structural vulnerabilities. 🔸Adaptable model: It operates with a dynamic set of indicators that continuously evolves according to the transformations and ethical demands of the global scientific ecosystem. 🔸Non-punitive purpose: It does not rank or penalize; it provides actionable intelligence to support informed leadership decisions. The credibility of open knowledge begins with the institutional capacity to anticipate its integrity risks.
