Proofig launches first commercial automated image duplication and manipulation detection software for scientific publications
PROOFIGER LTD, a company based in Rehovot, Israel, has developed advanced software to address the challenge of image integrity in scientific publications. The software, created by founder Dr. Dror Kolodkin-Gal and technology partners, extracts and compares images from papers to detect duplications and manipulations. This automated process helps prevent costly retractions and protects the reputations of researchers, publishers, and institutions. Publishers such as the American Association for Cancer Research and the American Society for Clinical Investigation have already integrated Proofigs software into their review processes. The software is also beneficial for individual researchers and publishing houses, reducing costs and ensuring the accuracy of research papers.
