Imagetwin and Clear Skies Announce Partnership to Strengthen Research Integrity

Imagetwin and Clear Skies are proud to announce a new partnership that brings Imagetwin’s advanced figure analysis technology into Oversight, Clear Skies’ award-winning research integrity platform.

With this integration, users of Oversight will be able to access Imagetwin’s image analysis directly within their workflow. This marks a decisive step forward in ensuring research standards and providing institutions, publishers, and integrity officers with the tools they need to detect and prevent misconduct.

... Clear Skies’ early warning service finds problematic articles with high accuracy and offers detailed insights powered by AI and network analysis working on a vast database. Imagetwin helps users and integrity officers find clear evidence of image manipulation. We find a strong synergy between the two services and look forward to developing this integration for our users.

About Oversight

Clear Skies developed Oversight as the world’s first index of research integrity, providing metrics that describe research standards across the entire ecosystem, from individual papers to publishers, journals and institutions. Oversight’s unique approach focuses on ensuring that “bad science isn’t published”, enabling researchers and organizations to have confidence in the credibility of the scientific record.

Through AI models trained on peer-review, Oversight delivers an early warning system for problematic articles while maintaining strict confidentiality of data. The platform is continually expanding with new features and metrics to help the community uphold the highest standards in research.

The Partnership

By integrating Imagetwin into Oversight, the two organisations combine complementary strengths: Oversight’s large-scale integrity metrics and early detection, with Imagetwin’s precise figure-level analysis. Together, the collaboration delivers a more robust solution for tackling one of the most pressing issues in science today: ensuring research integrity at scale.

This partnership reflects a shared mission – creating the right environment for science by supporting standards, transparency, and trust.
