In academic papers, images are a crucial way of conveying data and illustrating results — one study found that as many as 72 percent of cell biology related papers included image-based figures.

A new analysis finds that 3.8 percent of scientific studies have images duplicated from another paper, half of which appeared to represent deliberate manipulation.

The guide lists three categories of manipulation, ranging from level one — in which some images in the paper have been altered, or “beautified” in a way that does not affect the research’s ...

Paper: Stable Diffusion “memorizes” some images, sparking privacy concerns But out of 300,000 high-probability images tested, researchers found a 0.03% memorization rate.

Concerns about image integrity have so far led to 17 retractions, corrections or expressions of concern for papers co-authored by geneticist Gregg Semenza.

In biomedical research alone, an estimated $2 billion may have evaporated last year over papers that were retracted due to doctored images. Now, a growing body of researchers are turning to AI to ...

An algorithm that can detect duplicate images across thousands of research papers has been created with the hope of licensing it to journals and research-integrity offices. A team of researchers from ...
