Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews
Scientists reportedly hiding AI text prompts in academic papers to receive positive peer reviews
You're viewing a single thread.
Even the scientists are fudging the truth. We're all fucked now.
Well the ones using AI to do the reviews for them are actually at fault here
Yep. At that point, why even bother taking the review? You're not forced to do reviews. Never taking any is likely to negatively impact your career, but still... just decline the review if you're going to use a LLM for it anyway. Have some dignity.
It's a requirement of publication. This isn't like a book review.
No it's not. I have both published in a variety of scientific journals, reviewed for a couple journals, and turned down reviews for a couple journals.
No journal checks your "review history" before allowing you to publish. However, if you consistently turn down reviews from a journal, the editor is likely going to get annoyed and you will probably have a harder time publishing in that journal in the future.
It differs per community. Some of the more hype-y conferences I've submitted to require at least one co-author to review other papers as a condition to submission. I've not seen this at less hyped conferences or journals yet, though. But different communities tend to do things very differently, so many people will have different experiences.

Good point, I'll moderate myself and just state that I've never experienced it being a hard requirement in my field.
The era (1990-2019) before humanity's recent right-wing shift may have been the pinnacle of what we humans were capable of ever becoming; in terms of collective unity, welfare, global coherence, and scientific progress. Now it feels like we're snapping back, like a rubber band stretched too far. I'm sure we'll never reach that height again.

academic fraud has always existed
