Oh wow, forensic scientometrics is becoming a thing: "Beyond Retractions: Forensic Scientometrics Techniques to Identify Research Misconduct, Citation Leakage, and Funding Anomalies" arxiv.org/pdf/2602.14793
Back when I was a reporter, I interviewed him once 15 years ago in our hometown during a press tour for a movie (maybe it was Cidade Baixa - which is great btw -, I don't recall which). He remained the same, which is awesome. Very insightful interview below:

tldr: it directs the LLM to extract data from real papers and rank them, but it still may make citation mistakes (more rarely than current commercial options available) and it can't separate good papers from bad papers. Also, only feeds on non-paywalled papers.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.
The most militarized nuclear superpower in history descends into fascism and the whole world holds its breath.
Developed by political scientist Andrew Cesare Miller & now available on OSF, the new Theory-Based Predictions in Social Science template helps researchers document theories, variables, outcomes, & conditions—making predictions transparent & testable.

Relendo:
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

It's not unheard of to find errors in your data after publishing it. While it's not fun when this happens, this one-pager can help guide you through the process of updating data, code, and publications when errors are found.

As Science reports, arXiv added an endorsement requirement for first-time posters to curb AI submissions. COS Exec Director Brian Nosek says it's "a reasonable approach," but for smaller servers, this could exclude real researchers who lack strong connections:

Comparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding.
RegCheck was built to help make this process easier.
Today, we launch RegCheck V2.

"If we continue to prize speed and novelty above rigor, then AI will supercharge our worst instincts. If instead we reward careful verification, openness, and humility, then AI could become a tool not of deception but of deeper discovery." ai.nejm.org/doi/full/10....
"Generative AI makes it trivial to produce convincing scientific fakery. Cryptographic verification infrastructure may help, but it is no panacea. Trust and reputation can only go so far before devolving into insularity. What remains is the hard work of culture and incentives. [...]
"Portanto, considerar autoplágio a publicação em artigos de dados de uma dissertação ou tese seria um contrassenso."

"conforme recomendações da agência, devem ser tornados públicos para que o esforço dos envolvidos sirva ao desenvolvimento da ciência. Um caminho para isso tem sido o depósito de produções de programas de pós-graduação em repositórios institucionais (WATANABE, 2014). [...]

"A expectativa é que a revisão por pares melhore a escrita do relato e aprofunde a discussão dos achados da pesquisa. Vale ressaltar também que a Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes), fazendo uso de suas atribuições, [...]

P/ os periódicos brasileiros que estão recusando artigos derivados de dissertações e teses os mal interpretando como autoplágio:
"Repositórios são fontes informacionais, mas não constituem uma publicação científica em sentido estrito (LEITE; ASSIS; MELO, 2015). [...]
It’s depressing.
First MEP report.
Medical research often uses non-parametric tests. We looked, and noticed that small-sample rank-based tests (i.e. M-W, Wilcoxon) have significant granularity... like p-values!
So, here's GRIM for U values -- GRIM-U.
Enjoy.
