The Impact of Electronic Publishing: The Future for Publishers and Librarians. David J. Brown and Richard Boulderstone. Munich: K. G. Saur, 2008. p[319]-321
Trust in publication systems is essential but measuring it is "ill-defined." Publication systems need to maintain their integrity so as to attract more users and retain loyal clientele. Through the years, these publication systems looked for ways to control fraudulent articles from circulating.They have created trust-based systems that would allow them to have control over articles submitted for publishing. It goes through a referee system, a review process that shows whether a research paper has passed.
In the internet world, it is harder to employ a trust-based system because the information space is so vast, but there have been ways developed to address these concerns. There is the use of feedback as a trust metric (Ebay), reviews from book purchasers (Amazon) and Page Rank system (Google).
Nowadays, publishers buy software systems that can detect plagiarism because they want to ensure the integrity of all their published articles. Having a good reputation is good for their business and it means more future submission of articles and more patronizers of these published works.

Today, I became aware of the different measures that publication systems go through before publishing an article. This keeps a good balance between those who wish to submit and share articles for others to learn and users being able to have their hands on a trusted article. I learned about software systems being able to recognize plagiarized materials and best of all, users are rest assured that the materials have gone through rigorous reviews and that publishing systems exhausts all efforts to provide trusted reading materials.
