What the work is read against.

The platform does not set standards. It reads its evidence against the frameworks that competent bodies have adopted, so a finding can be placed where a decision-maker already works.

04Foundations and counterparts

Built on named methods, read across three institutions.

The Registry applies three methods from the STEM Commons: data engineering, interoperability and stewardship, which governs schemas, lineage and exchange formats; digital identity and public digital systems, which governs how people and institutions are identified without over-collecting personal data; and cybersecurity and cryptography, which governs integrity checks, access control and tamper evidence. Each is described with its limits on the STEM foundation of Registry.

Inside Foundry, the Registry works with NXS-GRX (canonical data, provenance and risk) for risk-data lineage, NXS-NSF (trust, authorisation and assurance), NXS-RLS (participants, agreements and handoffs) and NXS-POR (public, client and partner delivery). Its methods notes are designed for the Methods and Technical report series, and in the annual Universe programme it is designed to keep the evidence records across an edition.

The same questions are governed and applied elsewhere. Research Nexus at The Global Risks Forum (GRF) and Governance Nexus at The Global Risks Forum (GRF) convene institutions on research integrity and accountable governance, while Financial Regulation Nexus at The Global Risks Alliance (GRA) builds shared industry understanding of record-keeping and supervisory evidence in finance. All counterparts are listed on counterparts across the Consortium.

05Overview

What Registry does.

Research record integrity is the property of records that can be traced to who issued them, when, by what method and from which sources, and that change only through visible corrections. Registry covers programme status, provenance, correction and versioning, persistent identifiers, evidence classes, participation, rights and interoperability, with the standards that govern each.

10Mandate and boundaries

What Registry records, and what a record does not confer.

Registry keeps the programme’s records: who asserted what, when, on what evidence and under which terms, and how each record was corrected. It is the memory of the programme, not a register of legal status. A record that an institution enquired, contributed data or completed a step is a fact about that event; it is not membership, accreditation, a licence or an approval.

Records shown on these pages are examples of structure unless marked as released. Personal data is never published, and a correction never erases the history it corrects.

12Reports, standards and contributions

How registry records support Reports and Nexus Standards.

Every figure in Reports is designed to resolve to a registry record. The proposed Nexus Standards give those records their identifiers (NS-1 and NS-3), metadata (NS-3b) and citation format (NS-2); the registry is where they are applied. Registry methods are designed for the Methods and Technical series.

  • Data owners can register a dataset with its terms through the Secretariat.
  • Anyone can request a correction to a record about them or their institution.
  • Archivists and data stewards can review the record model against OAIS and TRUST practice.
13The problem

Public trust fails when records cannot be checked.

Every claim a public programme makes rests on a record somewhere: an agreement that constituted it, a dataset behind a figure, a review that cleared a report, a decision that corrected an error. When those records are missing, scattered or silently changed, three failures follow. Readers cannot tell an estimate from an observation. A programme announced as active may never have been constituted. And a correction made in one place does not reach the copies, citations and summaries that have already spread elsewhere.

Records science, the shared ground of archivists, librarians, data engineers and auditors, treats these as structural problems rather than lapses of care. A record is trustworthy when its identity is stable, its origin can be traced, its integrity can be verified and its history is kept. Failures cascade because records are linked: a superseded dataset quietly feeds a model, the model feeds a report, and the report feeds a decision. Without lineage, no one can find which downstream records an error has touched.

Consortium programmes add a further difficulty. Work is carried out by many institutions across six regions, each with its own authority over what it produces. A shared registry cannot override that authority. It can only make each owner’s records consistent, citable and honest about their status.

14What the platform does

A record layer for programmes, evidence and publications.

Registry is designed for programme stewards, librarians, auditors, technical reviewers and contributors who need to cite, check or maintain the records behind Consortium work.

Records

Public-safe record views

Released records of programme states, publications, evidence and corrections, each with its validity, issuer and evidence label, published on public records.

Methods

Record methods

Versioned schemas, reference resolution, provenance and rights rules and correction trails, set out in the record model.

Glossary

A shared status vocabulary

One meaning for each programme state across the three pillar institutions, set out on programme states.

No public record has been released yet. Records appear only when their owners release them and they pass review; the Registry never presents illustrative records as real.

15Coverage

The areas of governance and institutions this platform takes on.

Registry studies how research and programme records stay trustworthy over time: who issued an assertion, when, by what method and from which sources, how it is identified and linked, who may see it, and how it is corrected. Its pages set out the standards, identifiers, failure mechanisms, measures and decision holders for each part of the record, with every assertion labelled by its evidence and every correction kept visible.

Area

Programme records

What a programme status asserts, who attests it, and why a stated target is not a delivered result.

Area

Provenance and lineage

Issuer, date, method and source chain for every assertion, recorded so a reader can trace it back.

Area

Correction and versioning

Errata, retractions, superseded versions and the routes by which corrections reach everyone who relied on a record.

Area

Persistent identifiers

DOIs, ORCID iDs, ROR IDs and other identifiers that keep references stable when names, locations and systems change.

Area

Evidence and confidence

Evidence classes, reliance limits and confidence statements that stop a weak source being read as a strong one.

Area

Participation and recognition

Consent, contributor roles and programme boundaries for the people and organisations named in a record.

Area

Rights, access and disclosure

Licences, embargoes, audience classes and withdrawal, and the balance between an open record and the duty to protect.

Area

Interoperability and exchange

Metadata schemas, crosswalks, interfaces and export formats that let registries exchange records without losing meaning.

16Grounding

Built on named science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Every claim on Registry rests on methods with a canonical page in the STEM Commons, so readers can see what a finding depends on and where its limits lie.

17Cycle

How work moves in this field.

A question becomes evidence, a governed build, an organised community, a controlled test, a reviewed publication and, finally, a decision taken by the competent authority under its own rules.

  1. Question Universe National, regional or institutional priority. Question in Registry
  2. Evidence Foundry STEM foundation of the platform. Evidence in Registry
  3. Build Foundry Foundry. Build in Registry
  4. Organise Universe Nexus ecosystem. Organise in Registry

  6. Publish Reports Reports. Publish in Registry
  7. Decide Competent authority Competent authorities and institutions, through NXS-RLS. Decide in Registry
  8. Renew Universe Corrections and the next annual agenda. Renew in Registry

Each step of the cycle in the pillar it runs in; the decision stays with the competent authority, outside the programme.

18Six pillars

How this works across the six pillars.

Registry works through six pillars of one annual programme, led by the Nexus Consortium, with GCRI, GRF and GRA each contributing in its role: explore, experiment and prototype in Labs, build, simulate and prepare in Foundry, convene and test in Universe, codify, correct and apply in Nexus Standards, publish in every format in Reports, teach in the open in Risk Academy.

23Questions

Questions and answers.

Who publishes Registry?
The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) publishes Registry and is responsible for what it publishes. GCRI is a research, development and policy institution. It is not a regulator, and it does not certify, license or approve; its findings carry their methods and uncertainty.
Is Registry active?
Registry is an established platform of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation. Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
How can I contribute?
Start with the participation paths or write to the contact form. An enquiry receives a reference; it does not create membership, a role or an assignment.
Where are findings published?
Reviewed outputs appear on the publications page, and contributions to the Reports series are listed on Publish in Reports.
Which values on this platform are real?
Indicator names, units, sources, methods and frameworks are real. Levels in figures and canvases are examples in a design. A programme replaces them with labelled evidence it owns.
How do I report an error?
Use corrections and concerns, or write to the integrity concern form. A correction is recorded as a new version, never a silent edit.
Who publishes Registry?
The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) publishes Registry and answers for its methods and content. Each record’s owner keeps authority over what that record says and whether it is published.
Does a Registry record prove that something is true?
No. A record shows what was recorded, by whom, when, from which sources and with which evidence label. It is not certification, approval or a verdict on quality.
ReportsContribute

Contribute evidence from this page.

Reports is the Consortium’s quarterly publication. What you know about this subject can become evidence, a case or a correction in the next edition, credited to you and published under CC BY 4.0 where it is your own work.
