ASM figure pre-screening workflow can identify image duplication concerns using Imagetwin and address them before publication. (A) Image duplication represents two-thirds of figure-related concerns in post-acceptance manuscripts. (B) All image duplication concerns were resolved following our policies and procedures in accordance with ethical guidelines by modifying the figures and/or text. (C) Complex image duplication concerns were resolved through editorial consultations, which sometimes led to revoking acceptance decision for the manuscript.

Image duplication erodes trust in the peer review process. This #mBio article shares results from ASM Journals’ 2023 pilot program using Imagetwin, an image duplication screening tool, which is now a part of routine ethics checks performed by #ASMJournals: asm.social/2yQ

A call for the United States to continue investing in science | mBio The U.S. life science research mission is critical not only to human health and understanding the natural world but also to agriculture and food production, technological innovations, socioeconomic progress, and our national defense and leadership worldwide. A 2025 Research!America survey reveals that 92% of Americans want government to actively work to promote medical progress, in part by funding infectious and chronic disease research. Why? Because biomedical research saves lives, prevents suffering, and increases quality of life for not only Americans but for people throughout the world. While less well appreciated, science also drives enormous economic growth. Indeed, historically there has been widespread bipartisan support for biomedical funding by the federal government. Below we discuss the U.S. scientific research enterprise and provide evidence and arguments we hope the ASM community can use to advocate for science.
