☆ Science Sleuths Are Using Technology to Find Fakery and Plagiarism in Published Research
  + stars: | 2024-01-28 | by ( Associated Press | Jan. | At P.M. | ) www.usnews.com   time to read: +6 min
Allegations of research fakery at a leading cancer center have turned a spotlight on scientific integrity and the amateur sleuths uncovering image manipulation in published research. The blogger, 32-year-old Sholto David, of Pontypridd, Wales, is a scientist-sleuth who detects cut-and-paste image manipulation in published scientific papers. By Jan. 22, the institution said it was in the process of requesting six retractions of published research and that another 31 papers warranted corrections. The sleuths download scientific papers and use software tools to help find problems. Some journals told the AP they are aware of the concerns raised by David's blog post and were looking into the matter.

☆ Opinion | The Story of the Student Journalist and the Stanford President
  + stars: | 2023-07-30 | by ( Theo Baker | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
But a comment on an online science forum called PubPeer convinced me something might be at the bottom of this one. That anonymous 2015 observation helped spark a chain of events that led Stanford’s president, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, to announce his resignation this month. Stanford opened the investigation in response to reporting I published last autumn in The Stanford Daily, taking a closer look at scientific papers he published from 1999 to 2012. (My team of editors, advisers and lawyers at The Stanford Daily stand by our work.) In retrospect, much of the data manipulation is obvious.

☆ University Departures Put Student Journalists in Spotlight

Mr. Baker, 18, resurfaced claims in a Nov. 29 article for The Stanford Daily that neuroscience research papers in which Dr. Tessier-Lavigne was listed either as principal author or co-author had altered imagery. The claims had been repeated over the years on PubPeer, a website that allows scientists to discuss research. The next day, Stanford University opened an investigation into Dr. Tessier-Lavigne with a panel of outside scientists. Dr. Tessier-Lavigne denied those claims. “That allegation appears to be mistaken, as Genentech has stated,” the panel’s report said, though it noted “multiple problems” with the 2009 study.

☆ Stanford University president to quit after review finds flaws in his research
  + stars: | 2023-07-19 | by ( Brad Brooks | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
July 19 (Reuters) - The president of Stanford University, one of the most prestigious U.S. schools, announced plans on Wednesday to resign his post after an independent review ordered by its board of trustees found flaws in his research as a neuroscientist. Those allegations were in connection with Alzheimer's disease research carried out when Tessier-Lavigne was the executive vice president of research drug discovery at the U.S. biotechnology company Genentech Inc. But the review of 12 research papers dating over two decades found that when concerns about the research were raised, "Tessier-Lavigne failed to decisively and forthrightly correct mistakes in the scientific record." As a result of the review, Tessier-Lavigne said he was going to retract three papers and correct another two. The board of trustees named Richard Saller, a professor in Stanford's Department of Classics, as interim president beginning Sept. 1.

☆ Opinion | Science Has a Nasty Photoshopping Problem
  + stars: | 2022-10-29 | by ( Elisabeth Bik | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +14 min
One evening in January 2014, I sat at my computer at home, sifting through scientific papers. Manipulated imagery in scientific papers can look ordinary at first glance. However, this ability, combined with my — what some might call obsessive — personality, helped me when hunting duplications in scientific images by eye. So when a scientist’s research shows a negative result, cheating can be tempting. Legitimate criticism of scientific research should receive legal protection.
