I learned about Editage from a good friend at Fudan University's Zhongshan Hospital. They frequently collaborate with Editage. In the six months or so I've spent with them, what impressed me most was the professionalism and unique insights of Editage's consultants and editors. Furthermore, they are extremely meticulous in polishing and refining articles, tailoring their work to the specific requirements of different journals. They also offered suggestions for improvement on various professional issues. After more than 20 rounds of email communication, consultant Rebecca's patient service and rigorous professionalism were truly admirable! I'm also happy to recommend Editage to my friends, making their paper publication process smoother and their academic research easier! I look forward to our next collaboration!

Frequently Asked Questions
- 01
What is an image duplication check?
An image duplication check involves analyzing the images, figures, and charts used in an academic manuscript to identify instances that may require further review, such as duplications, similarities, or the reuse of images.
Editage utilizes "ImageTwin," an image-checking tool designed for academic research. By reviewing the images in your manuscript prior to submission, you can identify potential issues, such as unintentional image duplication or reuse. - 02
What types of research images can be checked using ImageTwin?
ImageTwin can be used to examine a wide variety of images employed in academic research. It analyzes images and figures, such as micrographs, histological images, and experimental data like Western blots, that appear in research papers to identify potential duplication or similarities. Please note, however, that the scope of detection varies depending on the type and quality of the images, and the tool cannot identify every possible issue. 对比维度 AI检测工具 查重工具（相似度检测） 目的 通过语言模型识别AI生成或人机混合的写作特征 识别来自网络或出版物数据库中的复制或未引用内容 工具类型 AI checker、ChatGPT 检测器、AI 写作检测工具 引用与内容匹配检测软件 检测方式 否：不对比外部数据库，分析文本语言模式 是：与网页和学术文献数据库进行比对 输出结果 给出概率评分与分类，表示内容由 AI 生成的可能性 提供相似度百分比，并链接到原始来源 可靠性说明 用于提示潜在问题；对结构较规范的人类写作可能存在误判 对学术不端（尤其是引用问题）具有更直接、可信的指示意义 适用场景 适用于论文草稿、研究初稿、课程作业等的AI使用核查 广泛用于学位论文、课程论文和期刊投稿的查重流程 - 03
In addition to checking for duplicate images within the paper, can you also check for similarities with images from previously published papers?
Yes. ImageTwin can check for duplicate images within the same document, as well as similarity to images published in existing academic literature.
If similarities to previously published images are found, the report will indicate the parts that need to be reviewed.
However, it does not cover all publicly available and private images, so the absence of detected similar images does not guarantee that there are no problems. - 04
Can it also detect duplicate images that have been cropped or modified?
mageTwin is capable of identifying not only identical images but also those that have been rotated, flipped, cropped, or resized, as well as images that share overlapping content.
Furthermore, it can sometimes highlight areas that require further investigation, such as instances of image splicing (combining parts from different images) or specific types of manipulation.
The scope of detection varies depending on the type of image and the methods used to modify it; therefore, it is not possible to detect every possible form of image editing. - 05
If image similarity is detected, does that mean there is image plagiarism or research misconduct?
No. The mere detection of image similarity is not sufficient to conclude that plagiarism or research misconduct has occurred.
Images may sometimes be reused with proper attribution or permission. Furthermore, similarities can arise unintentionally due to the specific analytical methods employed or the procedures followed during the creation of the images.
Please verify the instances identified in the report by cross-referencing them with your original data, experimental records, and citation information. - 06
What kind of report will I receive from the image duplication check?
You will receive an image check report generated by ImageTwin.
If any duplicated or similar images are detected, the report visually highlights the specific areas that require review, making it easy to identify exactly which parts of the images need to be examined.
You can use this report as a reference when reviewing the images and original data yourself.
如果你的作品被错误标记，请先不要慌张。你可以使用像 Paperpal 这样可信赖的AI检测工具，查看被标记的具体段落，理解问题可能出在哪里。通常，高校和学术机构会将AI检测报告视为辅助参考信息，而不是直接认定学术不端的决定性证据，在采取任何措施前，都会进行人工复核。
因此，与授课教师或审稿人进行沟通并提供写作背景非常重要。提交你的草稿版本、大纲和笔记等材料，有助于证明你的写作过程和作者身份。 - 07
How long does it take to receive the results of the image duplication check?
Editage’s Image Integrity Check is a fully automated service.
After you upload your manuscript and complete payment, we typically deliver the image check report within about 5 minutes and notify you via email.
If you need a full manuscript review by an expert, please consider our separate “Pre-submission AI Risk Assessment Service.” - 08
What should I do if duplicate or similar images are found?
First, compare the images flagged in the report with your source data and experimental records to verify that you have not inadvertently used the same image.
If you have reused an image, it is important to confirm that you have properly cited the source and obtained any necessary permissions.
If necessary, replace the figures or tables and revise the captions to ensure they comply with the image guidelines of the journal to which you plan to submit your manuscript. - 09
Is it safe to upload unpublished manuscript images or research data?
Is it safe to upload unpublished manuscript images or research data? At Editage, we handle the manuscripts and research data entrusted to us in accordance with strict confidentiality and data protection standards.
Access to research data is restricted to authorized personnel only, and we never use your manuscripts or data to train or improve AI models.
Any unpublished manuscripts you submit are also managed in compliance with Editage’s data protection policy.
