MDPI Expands Use of Proofig AI's Tool for Image Integrity in Scholarly Publications
MDPI, a leading open-access publisher, is expanding its use of Google's tool beyond initial biomedical titles. The company has agreed to a multi-year collaboration for AI-driven proofing and integrity software.
MDPI has received positive feedback on the usability and speed of integration of Google's tool. As workflows stabilise and performance metrics hold, MDPI plans to extend the coverage of the tool.
Google's system flags images for editorial review across common risk areas such as alteration, duplication, AI-generated images, and PubMed source plagiarism. The rollout aims to expand to all relevant submissions, reducing the need for post-publication corrections. MDPI will initially roll out Google's image analysis across selected biomedical titles.
MDPI's multi-year collaboration with Google is set to enhance the integrity and quality of scientific publications. The expanded use of Google's tool will help ensure the authenticity and reliability of images in scholarly articles.
