Academic Integrity
Research Shield
Sign your contributions before anyone else can claim them.
Stamp every dataset, every method, every figure. Defend your authorship with a timestamp the journal cannot dispute.
The pain
A peer-reviewer leaks your dataset. A co-author publishes the figure under their name. A conference rejects the paper, a competing lab releases the same result two months later, and the dating fight is your word against theirs.
The solution
Research Shield signs every dataset, every method file, every figure at the moment you produce it. Twenty years from now, with the platform shuttered and the original engineer retired, the timestamp still verifies.
How it works
4-step flow from intake to audit.
- Step 1
Stamp the artifact
Drop a dataset, notebook, or figure; the engine signs the SHA-256 + your authorship key.
- Step 2
Bind the lineage
Each derived artifact references its parents — the chain is the proof of method.
- Step 3
Defend authorship
A signed timestamp is portable, court-admissible, and cannot be predated.
- Step 4
Publish with provenance
Submit to a journal with a verifier link the editor can run offline.
