Proofig AI for Publishers:
Uphold the Highest Standards of Scientific Publishing Integrity
Automated image screening and quality assurance that integrates with your submission workflow -protecting journal reputation, impact factor ranking, and reviewer capacity.
Why Image Integrity Matters for Publishers
Roughly one-third of life-science manuscripts contain image issues—many discovered only after submission. Manipulated, duplicated, plagiarized, or AI-generated images that escape peer review undermine scientific publishing and damage journal trust.
Manual checks, however diligent, still miss most image problems, leaving journals vulnerable as submission volumes keep rising. A workflow-integrated, automated solution is the only reliable way to ensure consistent, high-quality screening and protect impact factor rankings in modern scientific publishing.
Submission Volume
Surge
Rising manuscript counts make end-to-end manual checks impossible, letting image issues slip through peer review unnoticed.
Retraction Risk & Impact Factor
Publishing manipulated or duplicated images can lead to retractions, damaging journal credibility, and lowering impact factor rankings.
Editorial Resource
Drain
Investigating post-publication issues consumes valuable editorial time and staff bandwidth, stretching already overburdened teams.
Why Publishers Choose Proofig AI to Safeguard Scientific Integrity
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
