Another nice #ImageForensics for you. Which panels look more similar than expected?
#ImageForensics challenge of the day, and I made it a bit harder. Two panels overlap (tip: they are adjacent panels). Tell or show me which ones, and you might win an Emoji Award!
#ImageForensics Spot the overlap! Win an Emoji Award!
Oh, come on, @[email protected] Science Translational Medicine, correcting a paper for a photoshopped image? That is absolutely bonkers, and you should do much, much better. #ThisImageIsFine #ImageForensics
*How *not* to handle image manipulation*. Editors, please do not address this level of photoshopping with a correction. In 2020, I flagged Figure 3D of this 2017 BBRC paper. Multiple regions appeared reused within or across panels. pubpeer.com/publications... #ImageForensics /
Wiley's Food Science & Nutrition clearly not checking for image duplication - this should have been caught in 2025. #ImageForensics
Can you spot something unexpected in these four panels? Hint: duplicated groups of fluorescent cells. This is an easy one! Tell or show me at least three sets of problems. The first three correct answers will win an Emoji Award. #ImageForensics
#ImageForensics Kidneys of four differently treated groups of animals. None of these photos should overlap. But is that true???? Tell or show me if you find at least 2 sets of overlaps.
Can you spot the #ImageForensics problem here? (and yes, the taped mice are problematic, too).
An interesting story from the @[email protected] archives. First, I found this super easy #ImageForensics duplication in this 2021 Vaccines paper, doi.org/10.3390/vacc... Shown with blue boxes. I posted it on PubPeer, in August 2022. pubpeer.com/publications... /
