Can your eyes be trusted? Exploring image manipulation in research

Morressier — Wed, 21 Feb 2024 12:41:07 GMT

Academia’s image manipulation epidemic

Last week, we explored the troubling rise of data fabrication in academia, including a high-profile case involving an Ivy League professor and misuse of ChatGPT.

Now, another concerning issue looms: image manipulation. Driven by the pressure to publish, authors are resorting to altering images to fit desired outcomes, with manipulation being found in about 4% of biomedical papers. This obstructs scientific progress, leading to retractions.

Retractions due to image manipulation occur almost every other day, as documented by the Retraction Watch database. These cases persist and show no signs of diminishing. In July 2022, a whistleblower found serious image manipulation concerns in Alzheimer's expert Sylvain Lesné's Western blot photos. In Science Mag, it was noted, "Some Alzheimer's experts now suspect Lesné's studies have misdirected Alzheimer's research for 16 years." Just last year, Stanford's president, Marc Tessier-Lavigne, stepped down following concerns of image manipulation in his research, which led to the retraction of the implicated work.

Given the damage that image manipulation can cause in the scholarly community, let’s explore recent cases and discover what preventative steps Morressier is taking to tackle this issue, alongsideimagetwin.
