I agree with you Dr. Farid, it is a bad news for the unethical paper factory people. This tool can automatically detect the similarity in images, tables, bands,...etc. At present, many journals check some images but relatively few have automated processes. For instance, Nature runs random spot checks on images in submitted manuscripts and also requires authors to submit unedited gel images for reference. It is currently reviewing its image-checking procedures.
Considering rapid grow of publication, It’s necessary to check all the contents of papers for duplication or fabrication of data. It’s amazing.
