Cairn.info and 1D345 Compilatio join forces to strengthen scientific integrity in the age of generative AI

An unprecedented editorial inflation

Against a backdrop of surging global scientific output and the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the writing of academic articles, platforms such as Cairn.info have a vital role to play in preserving the chain of trust upon which the production of scientific and academic content relies.

A pragmatic and collaborative commitment

Faced with these challenges, Cairn.info and 1D345 Compilatio share a common conviction: no single organisation can guarantee the scientific integrity of the content produced and disseminated on its own. This partnership brings together two complementary areas of expertise: on the one hand, Cairn.info’s in-depth knowledge of the French-language publishing ecosystem and the relationship of trust it has established with 500 publishers; on the other hand, 1D345 Compilatio’s expertise, built on over twenty years of shaping natural language processing and detection technologies.

Both organisations share core values: a pragmatic approach to AI, a strong commitment to digital sovereignty and digital frugality, and the conviction that technological tools must be harnessed to support human intelligence. It is this shared philosophy that underpins the strength of their collaboration.

1D345 Compilatio integrated into Manuscript Manager

For several years, Cairn.info has been supporting around fifty partner journals on Manuscript Manager, the Danish platform developed by Akron ApS dedicated to the submission and evaluation of manuscripts. The integration of 1D345 Compilatio into this environment marks a key milestone in this partnership.

As soon as a manuscript is submitted, a dual automatic check for plagiarism and the use of AI is triggered, providing a direct operational response to the issues faced by journals (hallucinations, false citations, retracted articles, rewording, writing assistance) .

Beyond the technical integration into Manuscript Manager, this partnership opens up broader prospects: raising journals’ awareness of best practices in verification; the joint development of tools to respond to the rapid changes in generative AI; and a shared contribution to debates within the academic community on standards of scientific integrity.

“The problem is not the use of AI, but the lack of thorough checks on submissions to scientific and professional journals, to ensure that human expertise is incorporated into the peer-review process. Our role as a leading platform requires us to act both upstream and downstream of the editorial chain to strengthen the integrity of the content being circulated. The partnership with 1D345 Compilatio brings this ambition to fruition: to provide journals with an effective, autonomous and reliable tool that is integrated into their existing workflows.”

Thomas Parisot – Cairn.info

“The integrity of scientific publications has been at the heart of our mission for over twenty years. 1D345 Compilatio was designed specifically to address the challenges faced by publishers and education professionals: detecting plagiarism and AI-generated content before publication. The partnership with Cairn.info fits perfectly with this approach: embedding origin verification as early as possible in the process, in the interests of trust and scientific integrity.”
