Today I had the pleasure of presenting my fellowship research at the weekly interdisciplinary #VUIAS seminar.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.35582.55364
One of the key messages was simple: metrics often reveal symptoms, but understanding integrity problems requires looking at research environments, incentives, and organisational cultures.

And to finish off with a quote:
"Since LLMs generate their output by predicting word sequences, there is a sense in which every GenAI citation is hallucinated because it has been made up! However, people usually do not refer to these word predictions as hallucinated when they happen to exactly match existing citations."

There are important side notes.
The discussion points to the general problem of inaccurate citations in the scientific literature, e.g., via research
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s41073-025-00173-z
and proposals to track them
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s41073-020-00099-8And it alerts to 'stealth corrections', “post-publications changes, without providing any indication that the publication was temporarily or permanently altered” (from https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/leap.1660)

This paper presents a principled argument within the U.S.’ misconduct regulations that hallucinated citations may be a form of data fabrication and therefore count as research misconduct.

RE: https://fediscience.org/@satrevik/116612366859411834
Really interesting question.
I brought something similar last month to our #Postgraduate group with this paper as an example:
https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03075079.2026.2633517This led to a good discussion about #AcademicCronyism. Whatever one thinks about the items in the poll, the paper offers some shades of grey regarding such actions.

❗Update on Plagiarism and Falsification in Scientific Publications
Today, I officially submitted requests for the retraction of articles to the editorial boards of the journals "Land Reclamation and Water Management" and "Bulletin of NUWM".
❗Key facts of misconduct:
🔹 Plagiarism: Unauthorized use of my original relief map (2015) without citation.
🔹 Falsification: Intentional removal (retouching) of the author’s stamp with coordinates and date-time on site photographs.
🔹 Duplication: Publication of identical material in 2021 and 2024.Next steps:
In the event of attempts to covertly remove the articles without an official retraction notice, relevant complaints will be forwarded directly to @crossref and the international members of the editorial boards.#OpenScience #ResearchMisconduct #AcademicMastodon #ScientificIntegrity #Hydrology #Geoscience #GIS #FediScience #Plagiarism #SvystunovaGully #COPE #Crossref #DataIntegrity #ImageManipulation #AcademicChatter #ResearchEthics #EarthScience #HigherEducation

❗ While preparing a literature review for my monograph on the hydrogeochemical impact of mine waters, I discovered the unauthorized use of my original materials in articles published in 2021 and 2024. Both publications were prepared with the primary involvement of staff from the Institute of Water Problems and Land Reclamation of the National Academy of Agricultural Sciences of Ukraine (IWPLR NAASU).
An analysis revealed facts that go beyond a simple copyright violation:
🔹 Data Falsification: Original photo metadata (date, time, GPS) was intentionally retouched to conceal their 2015 origin and authorship.
🔹 Methodological Anachronism: Using 2015 data for 2024 modeling renders results invalid by ignoring the major infrastructure overhaul launched in early 2025.
🔹 Institutional Failure: This misconduct by state academy staff signals a systemic collapse of research quality control and ethical oversight within the institutions.#ScientificMisconduct #SvystunovaGully #ResearchEthics #DataIntegrity #Plagiarism

In this presentation, I explore the idea of "AI plagiarism" not as a simple violation, but as a mismatch between new modes of text production and outdated systems for assessing knowledge and contribution.

If text no longer reliably reflects thinking, what exactly are we evaluating?
This is part of my workshop at the Science Festival 2026.

Working with personal data in your research? You need to think about GDPR.
Informed consent, anonymization, data minimization — these aren't bureaucratic hurdles. They protect your participants and your research.
Plan for data protection from the start, not as an afterthought.
