Geographical Disparities in Research Misconduct: Analyzing Retraction Patterns by Country

Geographical Disparities in Research Misconduct: Analyzing Retraction Patterns by Country

Retractions are essential for maintaining scientific integrity, especially in cases of research misconduct [1-4]. Data from 2013 to 2015 show that retraction rates vary by country due to differences in research culture, regulations, and publication pressures [3]. Understanding these variations is vital to identifying systemic issues in research integrity.

Challenges and Lessons Learned in Managing Web-Based Survey Fraud for the Garnering Effective Outreach and Research in Georgia for Impact Alliance–Community Engagement Alliance Survey Administrations

Challenges and Lessons Learned in Managing Web-Based Survey Fraud for the Garnering Effective Outreach and Research in Georgia for Impact Alliance–Community Engagement Alliance Survey Administrations

Whether the result of unintentional, albeit careless, completion of multiple surveys or the purposeful misrepresentation of oneself [1], misinformation associated with web-based survey fraud compromises data quality and integrity with important implications for scientific conclusions, clinical practice, and social benefit [2,7].

Accessible Ecosystem for Clinical Research (Federated Learning for Everyone): Development and Usability Study

Accessible Ecosystem for Clinical Research (Federated Learning for Everyone): Development and Usability Study

These vulnerabilities include inference attacks, where malicious entities may attempt to reconstruct personal data from model updates, as well as direct cyber threats that target the integrity and confidentiality of the FL process [68]. The body of literature on FL privacy highlights the critical importance of acknowledging these risks, with studies identifying various attack vectors that could potentially compromise the privacy guarantees of federated model sharing [72].

The Ability of ChatGPT in Paraphrasing Texts and Reducing Plagiarism: A Descriptive Analysis

The Ability of ChatGPT in Paraphrasing Texts and Reducing Plagiarism: A Descriptive Analysis

These measures not only act as deterrents but also aid in upholding the standards of academic integrity and ensuring originality in scholarly publications. In recent times, artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant popularity across a wide range of individuals, including researchers and professionals. Among the various applications of AI, chatbots have emerged as a notable development, using AI and natural language processing techniques to generate humanlike responses to user queries [8].

Women Are Underrepresented Among Authors of Retracted Publications: Retrospective Study of 134 Medical Journals

Women Are Underrepresented Among Authors of Retracted Publications: Retrospective Study of 134 Medical Journals

Retractions for misconduct can be seen as proxies for scientific integrity, and our results suggest that it varies with gender. Identifying the underlying reasons for these gender disparities is challenging. No studies had directly tackled this topic, making it difficult to draw conclusive findings. Biological, social, and cultural factors can interact in a complex way and contribute to the more pronounced competitive tendencies of men versus women, which can be a possible risk factor for misconduct [9].

Nonfungible Tokens as a Blockchain Solution to Ethical Challenges for the Secondary Use of Biospecimens: Viewpoint

Nonfungible Tokens as a Blockchain Solution to Ethical Challenges for the Secondary Use of Biospecimens: Viewpoint

The ability to identify a biospecimen’s source remains central for the integrity and value of related research. Likewise, current deidentification techniques are a similarly thin veneer of privacy protection [4,5]. Biospecimens are inherently unique; truly deidentifying them may not be possible given the richness of underlying data, advances in genomics, and maturation of artificial intelligence technology [4,5,12].
