Research Integrity Screening
for faster, more confident decision making.

IntegrityGuard screens manuscripts for integrity risks, making editorial reviews faster, consistent, and scalable.

The challenges of modern research integrity screening

Rising integrity risk at scale

As submission volume grows, so does the risk of fraudulent, manipulated, or low-trust research entering editorial workflows.

Human only review cannot keep pace

Traditional integrity review models are difficult to scale when teams must assess large numbers of submissions quickly.

High-risk signals are easy to miss

Papermill activity, fabricated text, authorship anomalies, and disclosure gaps can be difficult to spot consistently without structured support.

IntegrityGuard turns a broad set of integrity signals into a decision-ready assessment that supports faster, more confident action.

Rapid Integrity Screening

Screens manuscripts across multiple integrity-risk dimensions in minutes.

Multi-Dimensional Risk Detection

Flags signals across authorship, references, fabricated text, transparency, and scientific coherence.

Decision-Oriented Insights

Aggregates findings into a single decision-oriented outcome rather than surfacing disconnected alerts.

Submission Risks

Papermill activity and other high-risk submission patterns.

Authorship Checks

affiliation relevance, geography patterns, ROR validation, retraction history, and author count.

Reference Checks

Reference checks, including self-citation, citation cartels, retracted references, invalid URLs, and unrelated references.

Fabrication Detection

Fabricated-text checks, including AI-generated text, tortured phrases, nonsense phrases, and LLM response traces.

Transparency Checks

Transparency checks, including funding, ethics, data availability, author contribution, conflict of interest, and consent disclosures.

Scientific Quality Checks

Science-related checks, including scope match, inappropriate language, section completeness, reference age, and abstract-to-main-text coherence.

Unified Integrity Assessment	IntegrityGuard does not present raw signals in isolation. It weighs and aggregates them into a single overall assessment.
Customizable Risk Weighting	Journals can assign relative importance to different checks so the final assessment reflects their own integrity priorities.
Rapid Review Escalation	For Warning cases, teams can assess internally or route the manuscript for Rapid Review, where experts re-evaluate and reclassify the case as Pass or Critical.
