Dr Elisabeth Bik - Workshop on Detecting Fraud in Scientific Papers
Monday, 3 November 2025
2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Grafton Campus, Building 501, Seminar room 110
Open to: Research staff, students, and research support staff committed to safeguarding the scientific record through greater awareness of research integrity and scientific fraud.
This interactive workshop explores the many ways scientific integrity can be compromised, and how to detect it.
Participants will gain insights into common forms of misconduct, including:
Plagiarism – textual copying and hidden reuse
Table & plot problems – fabricated or selectively presented data
Photo manipulation – duplicated, spliced, or enhanced images
AI-generated content – the new frontier of research fraud
The session will also cover best practices for raising and handling allegations while protecting fairness and integrity.
If you have a particular area of interest- such as image manipulation, plagiarism, or AI-generated content- you’re welcome to suggest a focus for deeper discussion.
