There'll always be fraud; some people will always try to cheat the system. I suppose the question is, how to minimise it (and then, how to detect it).

This doesn't help:"Until publishing papers is decoupled from earning funding and employment, however, it’s difficult to imagine how much will change."

The Conversation - Scientific fraud is rising, and automated systems won't stop it. We need research detectives

"Somebody should employ lots of people like [Elisabeth] Bik to check quality. However, “somebody should” is a dangerous phrase, because it could easily mean nobody will." - @aidybarnett of @aimos

Should researchers who are found to have committed research misconduct be given a second chance?

Dag Slotfeldt-Ellingsen says maybe, with preconditions:
"It will be crucial that the researcher is open and honest about his or her past and can prove to have the professional ethical knowledge and attitudes that the position requires."

MACCHINE PER PRODURRE FRODI

Questo è uno dei ruoli che può assumere un agente conversazionale evoluto come ChatGPT, insieme a strumenti in grado di generare dati e immagini finti, applicato alla produzione di articoli scientifici falsi, ma utili a gonfiare i curriculum dei ricercatori.

Image alteration and duplication in scientific publications: the STM Association has released "the first in a series of instructional video modules intended to serve as a tool for scholarly journal editors screening for manipulated images in submitted manuscripts".

@OverlyHonestEditor I too find the argument for an "honest error" retraction category unhelpful, as it places a sometimes impossible burden on editors to distinguish between accident and fraud. Though editors may be able to discern error vs fraud, and it can be helpful when deciding whether to correct or retract, they shouldn't be expected to publicly make that call every time. A "just the facts" approach to notices is best.
