Proofig AI Reviews & Product Details

Proofig AI is an AI-powered scientific image integrity platform designed to help researchers, institutions, publishers, and oversight teams detect image-related risks before submission, peer review, or publication. Built for the life sciences and scientific publishing ecosystem, Proofig AI automatically screens manuscript figures to identify potential issues that can compromise research credibility, publication quality, and trust. The platform detects image duplication and reuse within a manuscript, including full or partial overlap, scaling, rotation, and flipping. It also identifies signs of image alteration or manipulation within individual sub-images, such as cloning, editing, deletion, and splicing. In addition, Proofig AI includes image plagiarism detection by comparing manuscript figures against PubMed’s open-access image source, helping uncover plagiarized images and unauthorized reuse from published literature. Its AI-generated image detection capabilities help identify scientific images created by generative AI tools, including challenging image types such as microscopy and western blots. For researchers and institutions, Proofig AI also offers My Database, a private repository feature that checks new submissions against previously uploaded research materials to help prevent accidental self-plagiarism. Proofig AI’s comprehensive image integrity checks conduct millions of image comparisons to detect and help prevent potential image issues before they escalate. By replacing inconsistent manual review with scalable, automated screening and clear reporting, Proofig AI enables users to upload manuscripts, review flagged findings with forensic investigation tools, add comments, and generate reports for internal review, submission preparation, editorial workflows, or research oversight. The platform is designed to support high standards of research integrity while helping reduce the risk of preventable rejections, corrections, investigations, and retractions. Proofig AI is trusted by leading researchers, publishers, and research institutions, and is also a core image integrity component within PubShield, Proofig’s institutional submission hub for broader manuscript quality assurance. PubShield centralizes multiple checks, including image integrity, text similarity, reference integrity, AI-generated text detection, and data-reporting readiness, into one workflow and dashboard.
