Proofig AI, the pioneering provider of automated image integrity solutions for scientific publications, and LabArchives, a leading electronic lab notebook platform used by more than 750,000 scientists at over 500 leading research organizations worldwide, today announced a partnership that enables researchers to to screen images for integrity issues directly from within their LabArchives workflows.
The partnership is designed to bring image integrity review closer to the point where research images are created, organized, and prepared for downstream use. By integrating Proofig AI’s automated image integrity analysis into LabArchives workflows, researchers can now review images earlier, while there is still time to document, correct, or repeat work if needed. This helps strengthen reproducibility, improve confidence in visual evidence, and support more reliable research outputs.
Image integrity issues remain a significant challenge across the research lifecycle. Industry experts estimate that approximately 20––35% of life sciences manuscripts are flagged for some form of image-related issue, including duplication, manipulation, or plagiarism. Many of these problems are difficult to detect by visual inspection alone, and once images are translated into quantified results, graphs, presentations, or manuscripts, the original visual evidence is no longer front and center, making issues much harder to notice or trace back.
Through this partnership, researchers can initiate image integrity review from their LabArchives workflows and analyze selected images in Proofig AI before those images move further downstream. Proofig AI helps detect duplication and reuse, alteration and manipulation, image plagiarism from published papers, and AI-generated scientific images. By surfacing potential concerns earlier, the partnership supports stronger documentation practices and gives teams greater confidence in the integrity of the visual data underlying their research.
“By partnering with LabArchives, we are helping researchers bring image integrity checks to an earlier and more actionable point in the research workflow,” said Dr. Dror Kolodkin-Gal, co-founder and CEO of Proofig AI. “In minutes, Proofig AI can run what effectively amounts to millions of automated integrity checks, far beyond what any team could realistically do by eye. This allows researchers to identify potential concerns while there is still time to review, document, correct, or repeat work if needed. We believe this is essential for reproducibility and for strengthening confidence in the scientific record.”
The LabArchives and Proofig AI partnership reflects a shared commitment to supporting researchers with practical tools that strengthen research quality without adding unnecessary workflow complexity. By connecting image integrity review more closely to where scientific images are managed and organized, the partnership helps researchers build with greater confidence and protect credibility across the research lifecycle.
