Imagetwin Integrates with Wiley’s Research Exchange to Strengthen Image Integrity at Scale

We are proud to announce that Imagetwin has been integrated into Research Exchange, Wiley’s research publishing platform. Wiley is a global leader in authoritative content and research intelligence for the advancement of scientific discovery, innovation and learning. The integration brings AI-powered image integrity screening to the 25+ research integrity checks already embedded in Research Exchange, enabling editors and integrity specialists to identify potentially manipulated or fraudulent images before publication.

First, a Pilot Proved the Need

Before full rollout, Wiley ran a pilot across multiple journals. The results were clear: Imagetwin detected more than 3x as many image integrity issues as human reviewers alone, flagging manuscripts with concerns that would have otherwise been missed.

Based on those results, Wiley is now rolling out Imagetwin strategically across its journal portfolio, prioritizing disciplines where image integrity risks are most acute: life sciences, biomedical research, and materials science.

How the Integration Works

When a manuscript is submitted to a participating Wiley journal, Imagetwin automatically analyzes each image and flags potential concerns directly within the Research Exchange interface. Editors and research integrity specialists receive a clear, actionable report at key stages of the peer review journey, allowing them to investigate flagged images before publication without disrupting existing workflows.

Why This Matters

Research Exchange is used by more than 1,500 journals published by Wiley and its partners, as well as third-party publishers. At that scale, protecting the integrity of the scientific record requires more than manual review. As Sam Parker, Wiley’s Director of Integrity Platforms, shares:

“Research integrity is a foundational part of Research Exchange, and we are continuously evolving and investing in this technology as the threat landscape evolves. AI-generated and manipulated images that are fraudulently passed off as scientific evidence present a serious risk to the credibility of published research. With this integration, we’re giving our editorial teams the tools they need to proactively catch these issues before they reach publication.”

Patrick Starke, Imagetwin Co-Founder & CEO, supports that statement:

“We’re happy to help advance Wiley’s commitment to research integrity. Integrating Imagetwin into their submission workflow means journals can now, with greater precision, catch image plagiarism, manipulation, duplication, and AI-generated content before publication, which protects the scientific record at scale, and that’s what matters today.”
