Nature: Hey ChatGPT, write me a fictional paper: these LLMs are willing to commit academic fraud. “Still, some LLMs performed better than others in the experiment, in which the models were given prompts to simulate users asking for help with issues ranging from genuine curiosity to blatant academic fraud. The most resistant to committing fraud, when asked repeatedly, were all versions of […]

Glyphosate study from 2000 retracted amid corporate-influence concerns

The journal* Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology *(RTP) has retracted a highly cited paper from 2000 that concluded that the herbicide glyphosate is safe for humans after a scientist and historian raised concerns that the study’s authors hadn’t disclosed that Monsanto, which produced the glyphosate-containing product Roundup, paid them for their work. In addition, Monsanto employees played an undisclosed key role in drafting the report.

As envisioned, a substantial peripheral benefit of this plan would be recapture of funds now being diverted to support the unquenchable needs of psychologically damaged capitalists.

"The number of low-quality or fraudulent publications is rising to hundreds of thousands per year, which—if unchecked—will damage the scientific and economic progress of our societies. The result is editor and reviewer fatigue, irreproducible experiments, misguided experiments, disinformation and escalating costs that devour funding from taxpayers intended for research. It is high time to reevaluate current publishing models and outline a global plan to stop this unhealthy development. A conference was therefore organized by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to draft an action plan with specific recommendations, as follows. (i) Academia should resume control of publishing using non-profit publishing models (e.g. diamond open-access). (ii) Adjust incentive systems to merit quality, not quantity, in a reputation economy where the gaming of publication numbers and citation metrics distorts the perception of academic excellence. (iii) Implement mechanisms to prevent and detect fake publications and fraud which are independent of publishers. (iv) Draft and implement legislations, regulations and policies to increase publishing quality and integrity. This is a call to action for universities, academies, science organizations and funders to unite and join this effort."
