Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Day is a founder and data-driven leader with eight years of experience building tools that detect and quantify research misconduct at scale. As CEO of Clear Skies he brought multiple first-to-market products to publishing — including Oversight, a papermill detector and network analysis for fraud — and has been recognized by industry awards and coverage in Nature, Science and the Wall Street Journal. Previously a data scientist at SAGE and an editor at IOP, he blends domain expertise in scholarly publishing with practical data science skills (Python/R) to turn messy metadata into actionable integrity signals. He combines product leadership and hands-on modeling for recommender systems, large-scale misconduct detection, and publisher-level analytics. Notably, his work established the widely cited estimate of the global scale of industrial research fraud and introduced commercial papermill detection to the market. Based in London, he pairs a physics background with formal data-science training to bridge research rigor and operational productization.
