Economist Abel Brodeur was leading a group of colleagues examining a survey-research study when they noticed something that stunned them. Its data set, available in a public repository, contained names of people who had admitted to crimes and identified their accomplices, information never provided to police. This broken promise of anonymity, it turns out, was far from an isolated case, according to a new study released last week.

❗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.

I spoke to Chris Stokel-Walker for Scientific American about whether researchers can use generative AI, especially large language models, to replace human participants.

📢 NEW STATEMENT ALERT!

In conjunction with #ScienceEducationDay, ALLEA released a statement on how we can shape a scientifically literate and #ethical society.

The statement advocates for expanding early science education curricula to include both #NatureOfScience & #researchethics pedagogies on how to do that.

Find the full statement 👉https://allea.org/portfolio-item/allea-statement-on-shaping-a-scientifically-literate-society/

US human-subjects researchers: participant gender-related info is now extra sensitive.

Last summer I posted (linked below) about my (successful) quest for confidentiality guarantees from #WashU, and how we changed our screening questions to have pregnancy in an "any of the above" list, rather than separately.

Unfortunately, we now need to treat some gender and relationship-related data with the same heightened caution.
