Proofig AI 图像完整性筛查接入 ScholarOne Manuscripts

New integration enables publishers to check every image and sub-image in a submission for duplication, manipulation, plagiarism, and AI generation within their existing ScholarOne workflow

Ann Arbor, MI, and Charlottesville, VA, November 11, 2026 – Proofig AI, a leading provider of AI-powered research integrity and quality solutions, and Silverchair, the leading independent platform partner for scholarly and professional publishers, today announced a partnership that integrates Proofig AI image integrity screening into ScholarOne Manuscripts through the Silverchair Universe program. Publishers using ScholarOne can now check every image and sub-image in new submissions for duplication, manipulation, image plagiarism, and signs of AI generation without leaving their existing workflow.

Under the integration, screening runs automatically at submission or can be started manually at the point each journal chooses, and results are returned inside ScholarOne. Proofig AI compares the images in each submission against one another and against a database of more than 180 million images from the published literature, performing millions of integrity checks per image in minutes. Journal staff can open the full Proofig AI report from ScholarOne to review any flagged image.

“We are thrilled to join the Silverchair Universe and bring Proofig AI to the thousands of journals that rely on ScholarOne,” said Dr. Dror Kolodkin-Gal, co-founder and CEO of Proofig AI. “This is a real step toward making image integrity checks a standard part of submission. Potential issues now surface while a paper is still under review, early enough for authors to correct honest errors before they reach the published record. Our commitment is to help researchers, institutions, and publishers ensure research integrity and quality, and publish with peace of mind.”

The partnership comes as publishers manage rising submission volumes alongside new image integrity risks, including figures created with generative AI. Image integrity issues can also arise from honest mistakes, such as a mislabeled panel or an image duplicated during figure assembly. Those errors are far easier to resolve while a paper is still under review than after it is published, when they can lead to corrections or retractions.

“We are delighted to welcome Proofig AI to the Silverchair Universe,” said Hannah Heckner Swain, VP of Strategic Partnerships & Platforms at Silverchair. “Having Proofig AI image analysis available directly within ScholarOne Manuscripts gives publishers more choice in how they screen submissions, while saving time within existing workflows. Protecting the integrity of the scholarly record is a responsibility our publishers take seriously, and image integrity is an increasingly important part of their work.”

The integration is available now to publishers using ScholarOne Manuscripts. For more information or to request a demonstration, visit proofig.com, contact Proofig AI at [email protected], or contact your Silverchair Account Manager.
