For the remainder of 2025, we are offering an #ImageIntegrity scan using software and the keen eyes of our editors for only $95. For this price, can you afford not to get a scan??? Upload a pdf of your figures (<50Mb) at planteditors.com and put "Image Integrity only" in the notes! 👀

Seriously just have us do the #ImageIntegrity scan before you submit, because somewhere someone has lost track of which 🍅 or Y2H image goes where. #SciCom

Have our language and #ImageIntegrity experts go over your paper before you submit it to one of these special issues! planteditors.com
