New summary from Mirror @sci-integrity.com
🤖 Is AI fuelling false findings in science?
New analysis found a surge in AI use in health studies using large datasets — many without proper statistical checks.

The challenge is that this is exactly the type of software many people (myself included) are critical of. It means researchers and students can cite papers they've never read, bringing with it all kinds of #researchintegrity issues.
Publications using Demographic Health Survey data by world region, 1985–2025. Left shows counts, while Right shows proportions.
Opinion: After #USAID cuts, what’s next for the #DemographicAndHealthSurvey program? Experts argue for more equitable #DataInfrastructure and stronger #ResearchIntegrity.

Scientific sleuths come in from the cold

One of my favourite #BritishScienceWeek moments:
Went to a local primary school, talked about #ResearchIntegrity, reproducibility and Electronic Lab Notebooks (because - why not?)
First hand goes up ✋
Me: Do you have a question?
Child: No, I have a comment
10/10 - no notes

A cartoon drawing of a light brown camel with one hump. At the position where one might find an udder, we see a baby camel hanging. It is to illustrate the absurdity of the sentence "The definition and definition of microbes on the camel’s camel is very important ", found in the abstract of a paper about the camel udder microbiome.
New blog post: The Camel's Camel.
Today, I found a beautiful example of synonymized plagiarism involving the microbiome of a camel’s udder.

UNDERCOVER: The predatory publishing problem is not confined to English language journals - it is a global malaise. Here's the story from Brazil: blog.cabells.com/2026/03/11/p... @cabells.com
HT: @universidadesbr.bsky.social
#scholcomm #predatoryjournals #academicjournals #researchintegrity
A recent Brazilian study surveying nearly 5,000 researchers ID'd 66 journals with predatory practices, many using familiar tactics like spam solicitations and rapid publication promises.
The takeaway? Greater awareness and stronger standards are needed worldwide to protect #ResearchIntegrity.
'invited' to review for Springer's MDPI-clon "Discover ..." 🤦♂️
👉 Publishers deliberately invent journals to skim the impertinent profits with (AI-generated) papers mimicking science - all on public costs...
How long will Funding Bodies play this game? 🤔

Enjoyed reading the NERQ paper on RI training with strong ethical focus - it's very different to what we do in the UK (to my knowledge)...micro-learning on 'Philosophical Ethics 101' for trainers would be useful for me to appreciate it better I think
