Proofig AI for Researchers: Uphold the Highest Standards of Research Integrity

Before submitting your manuscript, ensure image integrity with Proofig AI, which detects duplications, manipulations, AI-generated images, and image plagiarism.

Why Image Integrity Matters

Roughly one-third of life sciences manuscripts are flagged for image issues.
Most stem from honest errors—sloppy prep, accidental edits, or data handled by collaborators. But some result from misconduct. The consequences? Silent rejection, public correction, or full retraction.

Even researchers who uphold the highest standards may unknowingly submit manipulated images. That’s why verifying image integrity—at every stage—is critical to protecting your work, your name, and your lab. It’s also an essential part of maintaining integrity in research.

Innocent Mistakes
Happen

Even rigorous labs can miss small errors during figure prep.

Risk of Rejection or Retraction

A single issue can block publication or surface later with lasting damage.

PI Reputation on
the Line

Whether it’s a mistake or misconduct by a collaborator - the responsibility is yours.

"As an additional QA step, we run all of our manuscripts through Proofig to check images for any inadvertent errors that may have occurred"

Professor Bruce Beutler, M.D.

Director, Center for the Genetics of Host Defense, UT Southwestern - 2011 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

"Significant damage is caused by image duplication even when they are innocent mistakes. Therefore, I'm happy to provide my department with the peace of mind that comes with knowing our manuscripts' images have been properly verified pre-publication using Proofig, and only manuscripts with no mistakes will follow for publication".

Professor Ofer Mandelboim

Head of the Department of Immunology and Cancer Research Hebrew University Faculty of Medicine, Israel

"I am so excited to follow the rapid evolution of Proofig for research needs. It is a great tool used in my lab for internal quality control prior to publication. Proofig is a terrific tool drawing the new standard for evaluating the authenticity of manuscripts and I am sure that journal editors will also benefit from using this exciting innovation."

Dr. Aviv Domvrovsky

Associate Editor Phytoparasitica, Springer

"The accuracy of scientific data presented in publications is vital for the development of better technology and medicine to support our society. I found that Proofig can precisely identify mistakes in manuscripts in a fine resolution and in a short time. This software should become a standard of work in the scientific publication pipeline to produce the knowledge society is striving for."

Dr. Erez Pery

Massachusetts Institute of Technology Research Scientist

"Our Proofig-based image integrity workflow has proven invaluable in identifying problematic figures so that editors can take appropriate action prior to acceptance".
