Proofig AI for Ethics Committees: Uphold the Highest Standards of Research Oversight
Automated image-integrity screening that supports ethical review, safeguards participant trust, and streamlines protocol evaluations.
Why Image Integrity Matters
Roughly one-third of life-science manuscripts contain image issues—many discovered only after submission. Manipulated or duplicated figures can compromise study validity, prompt ethics investigations, and undermine public confidence in research.
Ethics committees must verify that study materials meet rigorous quality standards, yet manual review often misses subtle or large-scale problems. Automated screening delivers consistent, timely detection—helping boards flag concerns early and maintain robust oversight across every protocol.
Misconduct
Risk
Undetected image issues can invalidate findings and trigger formal inquiries.
Public & Participant
Trust
Integrity lapses erode confidence in approved studies and institutional review.
Limited Review
Time
Volunteer committees and small offices can’t inspect every figure by eye.
Why Ethics Committees Choose Proofig AI
Research institutions cannot directly oversee researchers’ manuscripts and images prior to submission, yet post-publication image issues directly harm institutional credibility—making automated image integrity solutions essential for proactive protection.
