Imagetwin Integrates Image Integrity Checks into Rivyr Publishing Suite
We’re excited to share that Imagetwin’s image analysis software is now available inside the Rivyr Publishing Suite, MindCrafted Analytics’ end-to-end editorial platform. The integration allows publishers to detect image duplication, manipulation, plagiarism-style figure reuse, and AI-generated figures directly within their existing workflows.
“By bringing Imagetwin into Rivyr, editors can verify research images without leaving the platform. This helps stop integrity issues early, keeps workflows efficient, and supports consistent editorial standards.”
The pressure on editorial teams continues to rise. Submissions increase every year, and so do image-related integrity risks that can damage journal credibility. Many teams still rely on separate tools for different checks, which slows down review cycles and leaves gaps.
Our collaboration with MindCrafted addresses this problem directly. With Imagetwin embedded in Rivyr, publishers can now:
- Run image integrity checks alongside Rivyr’s editorial and peer-review tools
- Detect duplication, manipulation, plagiarism-style figure reuse, and AI-generated content early in the process
- Access Imagetwin checks across Rivyr, including ScholarOne, Editorial Manager, and custom integrations
The integration supports a unified workflow where editors can assess images, metadata, references, and manuscript content without switching platforms. This helps teams move faster and focus on publication decisions rather than manual screening.
MindCrafted shares this goal:
“Research integrity is essential to trust in scholarly communication. Partnering with Imagetwin gives publishers a stronger way to detect image issues early and maintain high editorial standards across journals.”

Frequently asked questions
Is Imagetwin worth it for a journal?
Yes, particularly for journals where submission volume makes manual image review impractical. Imagetwin integrates directly into existing editorial platforms including ScholarOne, Editorial Manager, Wiley’s Research Exchange, Rivyr, and CACTUS’s Paperpal Preflight, so there is no separate login or disrupted workflow. It screens for duplication, manipulation, plagiarism, and AI-generated figures automatically at submission, priced per paper rather than per sub-image. Publishers including Wiley, Karger, and Sage use it at scale across thousands of journals.
What's a good alternative to Proofig?
Imagetwin is the primary alternative to Proofig and is considered one of the two leading specialized image integrity platforms. It detects duplication, manipulation, plagiarism, and AI-generated figures, compares submissions against a database of 160M+ published scientific images, and integrates into submission systems including ScholarOne and Editorial Manager. Unlike Proofig, Imagetwin prices per paper rather than per sub-image, and offers a private repository on all plans. It is used by Wiley, Karger, Sage, and ASM, and was used by research integrity sleuth Sholto David in the investigation that led to a $15M False Claims Act settlement against Dana-Farber.
Does Imagetwin work with manuscript submission systems?
Yes. Imagetwin integrates with ScholarOne Manuscripts, Editorial Manager, Wiley’s Research Exchange, Rivyr, and CACTUS’s Paperpal Preflight. Within these systems, image integrity checks run automatically at submission without editors needing to switch platforms or use separate tools. API access is also available for custom integrations.
