Subject: [GRADCONTACTS] Proofig AI Available to all Purdue University Faculty, Staff, and Postdoctoral Scholars

 

Good Afternoon, 

 

All Purdue University faculty, staff, and postdoctoral scholars now have access to Proofig AI, which is a tool that can be used to identify potential image-related research integrity violations in research publications. The tool can be accessed by selecting “Sign Up” at https://www.proofig.com/, and choosing “Purdue” under Institutional Sign In.  Proofig uses Purdue’s single sign-on capability.

 

Departments are strongly encouraged to use the Proofig AI software to check theses and dissertations that have life science images including microscopies (confocal, light, fluorescence, and electron), histology slides, pathology slides, Western blot bands, gel electrophoresis, flow cytometry (FC), fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), cell culture, in-vitro, and in-vivo. in addition to the required iThenticate review. 

 

Information regarding both iThenticate and Proofig AI is available on the iThenticate Requests page of the OGSPS website. Purdue University's partnership with Proofig AI is thanks to the efforts of the Office of Research. We hope this tool is a helpful resource to you in reveiwing research in your area. 

 

Best,

 

Nicole
