  1. ❗ 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.

  11. Intercepting Misconduct - Practical Tips for Editors is chaired by Jason Roberts, with Paula Saikkonen, Dan Stuckey, and Ines Steffens.

    Our final session today brings together experts sharing practical, low-cost ways to detect and prevent research misconduct - especially valuable for editors at smaller journals.

  16. Being a "Highly Cited Researcher" has gone from a sign of having impact as a researcher to a potential indicator of misconduct.

    "Manipulations have been so obvious and large that, in 2024, over 2,000 researchers were removed from a HCR list containing some 6,600 names." - Lauranne Chaignon

  21. Last night I received an email from a science journal acknowledging receipt of a manuscript on which I was listed as an author.

    I had never seen this manuscript. Its corresponding author was someone I worked with during 2015-2020, but I had seen not a word of this manuscript.

    I replied to the journal that I had never seen this manuscript. The likely outcome is that it is rejected before peer review.

    I feel terrible for the graduate student who penned the paper. I am furious with the corresponding author for listing me as an author unethically.

  26. Two years ago, in July 2022, I was reading on a specific molecule class for a set of experiments for a cooperation partner. I read an excellent review article, but it was missing some angle, so I looked for another review article. And realized... They were the same? I checked and that article plagiarized 90 % of the original review article. I wrote about it on pubpeer. #chemiverse #publishing #academia #chemistry #pubpeer #ScientificMisconduct (1/x) pubpeer.com/publications/AD85B
