Imagetwin Partners with CACTUS to Scale Image Integrity Across Research Workflows

Imagetwin is now integrated into CACTUS solutions via API, delivering automated image integrity checks directly within research and publishing workflows.

CACTUS evaluated multiple providers in the space and selected Imagetwin based on detection quality, scalability, and ease of integration. The partnership allows their customers to screen figures for duplication, manipulation, plagiarism, and AI-generated content without adding extra steps to their process.

This matters because image-related issues are frequent, harder to detect manually, and often discovered too late. With Imagetwin embedded into CACTUS workflows, teams can:

  • Detect duplicated and manipulated images automatically
  • Identify plagiarised figures across and within publications
  • Flag AI-generated or altered visuals
  • Run checks early, before editorial decisions are made

 

The goal is simple: move image integrity from reactive investigation to standard workflow. As Akhilesh Ayer, CEO, Cactus Communications shares:
