From the team behind Proofig.
We made image integrity something the world's top journals could trust. Now we're building the same rigor for the whole manuscript, and the whole research lifecycle.
Integrity, caught early, and decided by people.
For too long, the problems that sink a paper (a duplicated figure, a hallucinated citation, a statistic that doesn't hold) surfaced late, in someone else's review, and landed as an accusation.
We think it should work the other way around: every kind of problem caught at the moment it's easiest to address, shown as evidence a person can weigh, with the researcher in the loop from the start. Signals, not verdicts. A human always decides.
Image integrity is the hardest dimension to get right. It's the one we already lead.
Octym is built by the team behind Proofig, the validated leader in scientific image integrity. The image and figure checks inside every Octym review are powered by Proofig.
Adopted by Science
The Science family of journals uses Proofig to screen images across all six of its titles.
Trusted across research
Relied on by the world's top researchers, publishers, and research institutions.
The largest image-plagiarism database
Every figure checked by Proofig for manipulation, duplication, plagiarism, and AI generation.
From one dimension to the whole manuscript.
Having made image integrity something the world's top journals could rely on, we kept seeing the same thing: every other problem in a manuscript still lived in its own tool. Images here, references there, statistics somewhere else: each an isolated signal with no context, and almost always surfaced too late to do anything but reject or retract.
So we built Octym: the interpretation and decision layer for research review. It reads a manuscript through every expert lens at once, then unifies, prioritizes, and explains the findings in one evidence-backed review, with an agent you can ask and a human who always decides.
Integrity and quality, for everyone who touches the work.
One mission: catch integrity and quality problems when they're easiest to address, from grant application to publication. One platform carries it, configured into a solution for each of the teams doing the work, by their own Octym team.
