Reduce retractions, strengthen compliance, and demonstrate commitment to research excellence.
Solution for Universities
Imagetwin helps universities embed research integrity into every stage of scholarship. From graduate programs to faculty research, you can:
- Verify the originality of visuals in student submissions before final approval.
- Screen manuscript to detect potential figure issues prior to journal submission or conference presentations.
- Equip researchers and students with clear evidence to understand common pitfalls in image use and manipulation.
- Proactively detect and resolve issues to protect your university's standing and uphold academic values.
Why Image Integrity Matters for Universities
Universities have a responsibility to ensure that all research bearing their name meets the highest standards of integrity. Without proper checks in place, image integrity issues can lead to:
Misconduct cases trigger investigations, impact degree awards, or result in funding loss.
Research integrity violations impact eligibility for competitive grants and institutional funding.
Retractions and investigations damage a university's standing among peers and stakeholders.
Imagetwin helps universities maintain the highest standards by automating image integrity screening. Graduate schools, compliance officers, and ethics committees can identify and address concerns before publication or submission.

Imagetwin detects:
- Duplications within manuscripts
- Duplications across published literature
- Splicing and copy-move forgeries
- AI-generated images
- Brightness or contrast modifications that obscure data
Does Imagetwin store university research data?
No. All uploaded research figures are fully encrypted and are never stored in our global dataset after scanning, ensuring compliance with university data protection policies.
Can Imagetwin be used for post-publication investigations?
Yes. Institutions can use Imagetwin to review previously published papers for image integrity concerns, supporting post-publication corrections or investigations.
Can we generate reports for compliance purposes?
