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!

A recent study highlights just how inexpensive and easy it is to purchase authorship in an academic paper. In some cases, it can be as little as $57.

Was bei einer Fake-Studie beginnt, beeinflusst schnell höhere Ebenen der #Wissenschaft, wodurch #Forschung an Glaubwürdigkeit und Erkenntniskraft verliert: https://www.laborjournal.de/editorials/3460.php#Laborjournal #LifeSci #WissenschaftlicheIntegrität #ResearchIntegrity #OpenScience

Reproducibility Woes Plague Economics and Political Science
New studies show many findings in economics and political science cannot be repeated by other researchers. This affects trust in published research.

Only about half of published papers in social sciences, including economics and political science, can be independently repeated by other researchers. This is a big problem for science.

Our new 📄 in Current Alzheimer Research looks at a strange, and worrying, phenomenon in scientific writing: tortured phrases. Instead of blood-brain barrier, some papers use bizarre alternatives like blood-brain obstruction or blood-cerebrum boundary.
:doi: https://doi.org/10.2174/0115672050460224260206052444
These are not just language errors, they can signal deeper issues such as weak #PeerReview or even #PaperMills.

Das Tool q.e.d Science zerlegt Manuskripte in Claims, findet logische und statistische Lücken und schlägt konkrete Textänderungen vor. Für wissenschaftliche Autoren eine große Chance. Kann eine solche KI sogar Peer Review ersetzen oder sollten Missbrauch-Sorgen ernst genommen werden?

For ten years, #CRediT 🎂 has offered 14 standardized contributor roles that make authorship transparent: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-03860-5

I recently joined Science Integrity Alliance as Editorial Lead. REACH is the alliance's quarterly magazine for research integrity and open science and just published its second issue.
https://www.sci-integrity.com/reach-october-december-2025
I can't take credit for this fantastic edition (other than a quick proofread) - that's down to Luciana Machado and the editorial committee, including Daniel Ucko and Maryam Sayab - but I'll be contributing to both this and our forums at https://www.sci-integrity.com/groups. These include our open Integrity Café and our HIKE Forum (Hub for Integrity and Knowledge Exchange) for contributors and subscribers to discuss resources and approaches to integrity with invited experts.
If there are any projects, products, or news related to scientific integrity that you'd like us to cover, please get in touch.

Dr. Kenneth Ruud on “Open science in a closing world” 🌍
How do we keep openness, trust & integrity when knowledge becomes geopolitical?

“In my opinion, metric-based recognition without integrity screening can inadvertently legitimize problematic practices. That risk is particularly acute in environments where publication is tied to career progression but where research funding, infrastructure, and oversight remain weak. These conditions can – and often do – fuel paper mills, coercive citation policies, and other unethical behaviors.”
Maryam Sayab spoke to Frederik Joelving for Retraction Watch on Clarivate's involvement in Iraqi research awards being granted to individuals with known integrity concerns.

A closer look at the PubPeer discussions involving Esam Agamy (University of Sharjah Chancellor) reveals repeated concerns about duplicated images, reused data, and lack of corrective action.
PubPeer gives scientists and readers a chance to hold the record accountable — and these threads show why institutional response and editorial transparency matter.

Generative AI and research integrity
GPT based text generators like ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot have rapidly become a “cultural sensation”. Here I provide scientific background and guidance on how to think critically and mindfully about these tools in academic writing and research.

What did we learn from our #Crossmark community consultation? People have different opinions on updating published works and what #researchintegrity means. Even within one organization, many different people and methods are used for updates, making it hard to implement Crossmark. We're working to make it easier.
