Introduction
Welcome to the Proofig Submit Page. Here, you will upload your manuscript for analysis. This guide will walk you through the process of submitting your article, filling in the necessary details, and starting the analysis.
Upload Your Manuscript
To begin, upload your manuscript as a PDF or Word (.doc / .docx) file by dragging it into the upload area or clicking to select the file from your computer. Word files are uploaded the same way as PDFs.
You can also upload image files such as JPEG, PNG, or TIFF, which the system will convert to a PDF for analysis.
You can also use LabArchives as your image source instead of uploading a local file. On the Submit page, choose LabArchives, then connect your notebook and select the page you want to analyze.
Uploading Multiple Manuscripts
You can upload up to 8 manuscripts at once. Each manuscript is analyzed separately and produces its own report.
Manuscripts uploaded together are not compared against each other. Proofig AI does not check for duplication between separate manuscripts, so uploading several at once is a way to process them in one batch, not a cross-manuscript comparison.
Skip Button
After submitting the manuscript, you can choose whether to review the detected sub-images before continuing or proceed directly to the review stage.
No-Skip (Default Option): Move to the Select View Page, where you can review and confirm the detected sub-images before proceeding to the next step.
Skip: Move directly to the Review Page to inspect the system’s detected integrity issues without reviewing the sub-images.
Authorized Use Checkbox
Before proceeding, please acknowledge that you are authorized to submit this manuscript for review by checking the appropriate box.
Filling in Manuscript Details
You can fill in these details to help you identify your manuscript later: the title, review stage, identifier, journal, authors, and any notes. These fields are optional but can provide more context for future reference.
Submitting the Manuscript
Once all necessary details are filled in, click the 'Submit' button at the top of the page to start the analysis process.
What Next
Your article will now be processed. The system will automatically detect the images in the uploaded manuscript, including microscopy images and blots as well as graphs, charts, diagrams, and plots. After the analysis, you will be automatically redirected to the sub-image review page, which is the next step in the workflow. Here, you'll be able to review and adjust the detected sub-images according to your needs.To learn more about Proofig’s powerful image integrity tools, visit our homepage.
