JEG<a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00676-1" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-025-00676-1</a> There's a correlation between sexual <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/misconduct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#misconduct</a> accusations and a drop in citations for the scholars accused, while that's not the case for fraudsters. In both cases there is a drop in publications, and the puzzling thing is that - looking at the raw data in the original paper <a href="https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0317736" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0317736</a> - the trend seems to begin before the accusations emerge. It raises the question of in which direction does the causality go. <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/ResearchMisconduct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResearchMisconduct</a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://mstdn.science/tags/SexualHarassment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SexualHarassment</a>

In a seminar at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR), I discussed with researchers in criminology how theories and findings from the field may be applied in the field of meta research.

Matt Hodgkinson"So is there anything that can be done to challenge wrongdoing without crashing out over the cliff?

renebekkersFinally, it happened: someone threw me into the realm of AI hallucinations. Two papers posted on Research Gate, with identical versions posted on the SSRN, linked to an account at the School of Economics, Finance & Banking (SEFB) of Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), include hallucinated references to non-existent publications listed under my name. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChatGPT</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/hallucinations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hallucinations</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/researchmisconduct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#researchmisconduct</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DOI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOI</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/references" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#references</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/academicwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#academicwriting</a>
