Strange research that cites papers that don’t exist or papers that don’t contribute. 😐 Seems like a giant waste of time. Why is it rewarded at all. [I guess this is a rhetorical question; maybe a better question is: why do ‘research’ if this is all it is? I.e. where is the drive to fake it or do this fake research coming from?] 🤔#researchIntegrity #research #citations #fakeResearch #reconnectingConsequencesToCauses

Wow, that ain't great. #ResearchIntegrity concerns in ThermoFisher's validations of its own antibodies... Fraud by specific labs? That affects the lab, and to variable extents from "meh" to "eurgh", the field the lab published in. Fraud by companies selling reagents? #SciPub #FoSci

Another day, another excellent demonstration of why doing data analysis using #GenAI is not only unethical but also completely nonsensical: https://kucharski.substack.com/p/real-signals-or-artificial-stereotypes.
The author got Microsoft Copilot to analyse identical but randomly ordered datasets of textual responses assigned to different countries. Copilot produced a plausible-sounding summary of differences between the countries that are nothing less than textbook examples of country stereotypes.

TODAY: On a panel at the #UKRIO annual symposium https://ukrio.org/public-events/
Topic: research integrity as a driver of growth, knowledge, and innovation.
Things I will probably mention
- the UK Reproducibility Network! ukrn.org
- Wellcome's new report on Trust in Science "Britain Talks Trust in Science"
https://www.moreincommon.org.uk/our-work/research/britain-talks-trust-in-science/
- my experience of running partial randomisation for the SPA
https://researchonresearchinstitute.substack.com/p/bingo-partial-randomisation-for-emergency
- and maybe Juergen Wastl's post https://fosci.substack.com/p/the-goddesses-truth-and-trust -
My research project, Writing With the Dead, has a fully funded PhD position available. Terribly exciting—and also with very nice people involved.
Come to Copenhagen. Do Grundtvig stuff. Wisen up.

I was only made aware of this (frankly awesome) case of LLM poisoning today: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01100-y. A researcher made up a disease and published two evidently fake preprints about it (including sentences such as “this entire paper is made up” and “Fifty made-up individuals aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the exposure group”), which were almost immediately picked up by LLMs and documented in their output. Worse, actual – supposedly serious – medical papers also started citing the preprints, demonstrating that academics relying on LLMs to do their work is a genuine problem! Not that I had my doubts but, if anyone did, this seems like the perfect demonstration of the problem. Article immediately added to the syllabus of the class I am co-teaching with Iris Ferrazzo on LLMs for Romance Studies/Humanities!
