Technology flags a potential image concern in seconds. Understanding what sits behind it can take deeper domain expertise.
Imagetwin and Molecular Connections announced Expert Review, a new expert investigation service for complex image integrity cases that comes after automated detection.
Through this exclusive partnership, Imagetwin customers will have direct access to Molecular Connections’ domain experts when a flagged signal needs deeper domain investigation.
Publishers can request an investigation of individual image or flagged manuscripts or batches of manuscripts that require a closer look. MC experts will examine the signals alongside the manuscript context and Imagetwin findings, and provide a detailed investigation and recommendations within 24 to 48 hours.
This gives editorial teams an on-demand expert investigation layer for complex cases, without having to build specialist capabilities in-house or search for external expertise when a concern arises.
“We would like to help our customers understand what to do after an image is flagged by our tool. This partnership with Molecular Connections gives them a clear next step, with access to experienced domain experts and a structured investigation when a case needs closer attention. It is a natural extension of how we want to support publishers beyond screening,” said Patrick Starke, Co-Founder & CEO, ImageTwin.
“Technology can flag a concern. Deep domain expertise determines its significance and the appropriate action. For decades, Molecular Connections has combined both to investigate complex image and research integrity concerns in context. With Expert Review, we turn signals into expert assessment and actionable recommendations for editorial teams,” said Krishna Chinnaiah, VP Business Development & Marketing, Molecular Connections.
Backed by Molecular Connections’ 25 years of editorial and scholarly domain expertise, Expert Review brings deep human investigation to complex image integrity concerns identified by Imagetwin. It gives editorial teams deeper context, clearer insight and a stronger path from detection to informed action.
From flag to finding. From detection to deeper understanding. Expert Review brings expert investigation within reach when it matters most.
Together, Imagetwin and Molecular Connections are bringing a new level of depth and responsiveness to research integrity support
