In response to feedback from nearly 5,000 researchers, publishing giant Wiley emphasizes the need for clear guidelines on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in scholarly research.

BIO Science Today explores how proactive AI image checks — such as those from Proofig AI — can preserve the reputation of academic institutions by catching mistakes before publication.

From falsified spider behavior studies to plagiarized dissertations and manipulated medical research, unethical practices are eroding trust in scientific integrity.

This Nature article highlights the intense stress and career risks researchers face when retracting papers due to honest mistakes.

The rise of AI-generated scientific fraud is challenging researchers to fight back with AI-powered detection tools.

Proofig AI's founder, Dr. Dror Kolodkin-Gal, highlights the risks of image integrity issues, including unintentional duplications, and how AI-powered image proofing software can help researchers, universities, and publishers proactively detect problems before publication.

AI-powered tools like Proofig AI are helping journals identify manipulated images, ensuring that fraudulent data does not compromise scientific credibility.

Nature highlights how AI-generated figures are reshaping research integrity
and features Proofig AI’s approach to detecting falsified images.

Proofig AI has launched its AI Image Fabrication identifier tool, a powerful new feature designed to detect AI-generated images in scientific research.

As concerns over research integrity grow, AI-powered tools are becoming essential for detecting image manipulation and duplication in scientific publications. Many errors stem from unintentional mistakes, but fraudulent practices, such as paper mills, further threaten trust in scientific literature. Automated solutions like Proofig AI help researchers, institutions, and publishers identify issues early, preventing costly retractions and strengthening the credibility of scientific findings.

Western blot images are a common source of integrity issues in scientific publishing, often due to unintentional errors or deliberate manipulation. The high volume of submissions makes manual verification challenging, increasing the risk of problematic figures entering the literature. AI-powered tools like Proofig AI streamline pre-publication image checks, allowing editors and publishers to identify concerns efficiently.

In response to research misconduct concerns, the Broad Institute and Boston Children’s Hospital are providing researchers with AI tools like Proofig and Imagetwin to detect image manipulation and plagiarism.
