Key Features
Comprehensive Image Analysis: Detects alterations, duplications, manipulations, and AI-generated images across various formats, including microscopy, Western blots, FACS, and more.
Plagiarism Detection: Identifies reused sub-images from published manuscripts using PubMed’s extensive database of tens of millions of images.
Forensic Tools: Offers advanced forensic analysis capabilities, such as detecting blot removal or irregularities in Western blot bands.
Scalable Automation: Analyzes entire papers in minutes, generating detailed reports that flag potential issues for further review.
Confidentiality Guaranteed: Ensures secure handling of sensitive data through private servers and strict privacy protocols.
Use Cases
For Researchers and Principal Investigators (PIs)
A researcher preparing a manuscript for submission uses Proofig AI to scan their document. Within minutes, they receive a report highlighting duplicated Western blot bands and minor manipulations that could jeopardize publication. By addressing these issues proactively, the researcher avoids costly retractions and safeguards their reputation.For Publishers and Editors
A journal editor integrates Proofig AI into their pre-publication workflow. The platform flags an article containing cloned microscopy images, enabling the editor to request corrections before acceptance. This proactive approach enhances the journal's credibility and minimizes post-publication risks.For Research Institutions
A university implements Proofig AI to ensure all outgoing publications meet rigorous integrity standards. The institution benefits from reduced exposure to investigations and legal costs associated with retractions, while fostering a culture of accountability among its researchers.
Conclusion
Proofig AI empowers the scientific community to uphold the highest standards of research integrity. With its ability to detect subtle image manipulations, identify plagiarism, and streamline the review process, Proofig is an indispensable tool for anyone involved in scientific publishing. By investing in Proofig, you protect your work, save valuable time, and contribute to the advancement of credible science.
