Large-scale Threats to Research Integrity
Wednesday, October 25, 2023 | General Session | 11 am – 12 pm EDT
There are multiple threats to the integrity of the scientific record, such as paper mills that sell authorship on fake research papers, manipulation of images and data to either enhance or alter actual findings, citation rings where authors cite each other’s papers even when they are not relevant, and fraudulent peer reviewers who provide positive reviews in exchange for cash or other favors. Hear our experts discuss these issues and answer your questions.
Moderator:
Alexandra Kahler, Director, KGL Editorial
Speakers:
Renee Hoch, Managing Editor, Publication Ethics, PLOS
Luigi Longobardi, Director, Publishing Ethics and Conduct, IEEE
Dr. Michael Pemberton, Professor, Georgia Southern University
