Announcing ReviewerZero: An AI-Powered Research Integrity Platform

Today, we're excited to announce the launch of ReviewerZero, a groundbreaking platform using AI to detect and prevent research integrity issues.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of ReviewerZero, a pioneering platform dedicated to protecting the integrity of scientific research through advanced AI technology. Our mission is clear: to form a shield around scientists who are doing and relying on trustworthy science.
Why ReviewerZero?
In today's fast-paced academic environment, maintaining research integrity has become increasingly challenging. From unintentional statistical errors to deliberate misconduct, the threats to scientific integrity are diverse and complex. ReviewerZero was born from the need to address these challenges systematically and efficiently.
Who We Serve
ReviewerZero is designed to support the entire research ecosystem, with specialized solutions for different stakeholders:
For Publishers
Streamline peer review and ensure publication integrity with our comprehensive suite of tools. Detect potential issues before they reach publication, maintain high standards, and protect your journal's reputation.
For Researchers
Verify your work before submission to ensure it meets the highest standards of integrity. Our tools help you identify and address potential issues early, increasing your chances of successful publication.
For Institutions
Maintain research standards across your organization and protect your institution's reputation. Our platform helps you monitor and ensure research integrity at scale, from individual researchers to entire departments.
Our Technology
Our platform combines state-of-the-art machine learning models with expert-designed heuristics to create a comprehensive research integrity checking system. We've developed innovative tools that can analyze research papers at multiple levels:
Image Duplication Detection
Detect manipulated or duplicated images instantly with our AI-powered analysis system. Our advanced algorithms can identify even subtle image manipulations that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Statistical Analysis
Validate your statistical methods and ensure the accuracy of your research findings. Our platform performs comprehensive checks on statistical methodologies, results, and data visualizations.
Citation Analysis
Ensure proper attribution and verify the accuracy of citations in your manuscript. Our system cross-references citations with source materials to maintain academic integrity.
Author Verification
Ensure authorship integrity with our advanced verification system. Our AI-powered tool analyzes author information, affiliations, and research history to validate contributor claims and detect potential issues like:
- Ghost authorship
- Unauthorized attribution
- Affiliation mismatches
- Publication history anomalies
The system provides a confidence score and detailed explanation of its findings, helping maintain transparency and trust in academic authorship.
Pre-analysis Annotation
Mark and annotate regions of interest before running comprehensive analysis. This feature allows researchers to focus on specific areas of concern in their manuscripts.
Looking Forward
This launch is just the beginning. We're already working on expanding our capabilities and forming partnerships with publishers, journals, research integrity officers, funders, and universities. Our recent funding from the Lab Venture Challenge (LVC) 2023 and support from CU Boulder and OEDIT will help us accelerate this mission.
We are proud to announce a strategic partnership with Lifecycle Journal:
Lifecycle Journal: A revolutionary open-access journal that transforms scholarly communication by promoting transparency and community-driven evaluation across all stages of the research lifecycle. Launched by COS, it enables researchers to publish and continuously improve their work through an innovative "publish-before-review" process.
This partnership will help us integrate ReviewerZero's AI-powered integrity checks into the broader research ecosystem, making it easier for researchers to maintain high standards of research integrity throughout their work.
