Have you ever wanted to create your own private publication database to check papers against? With our newest feature, Private Repository, you can do precisely that. We have just launched this feature and made it available to all customers.
Upload figures and documents to build your own publication database, and when you run a scan, the system will automatically compare images in the scanned paper to those in your repository. If duplicates are detected, they will appear highlighted on the results page. For more details, check out the instructions in the application.
Whether you are investigating retracted literature, screening incoming manuscripts, or tracking your own group’s submissions, private repositories offer a flexible way to monitor figure reuse over time. You can use it to create an archive of previously reviewed papers, check image reuse across submissions from the same lab, or screen against known publications. The feature supports both figures and documents, and integrates directly into your scanning workflow—no extra steps required.
All content in the private repository is bound to your account and cannot be seen or used by any other user.
We store your data securely using industry standards. Learn more in our data privacy policy.
