Allegations of research fakery at a leading cancer center have turned a spotlight on scientific integrity and the amateur sleuths uncovering image manipulation in published research.<\/p>\n

\n

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, announced Jan. 22 it\u2019s requesting retractions and corrections of scientific papers after a British blogger flagged problems in early January.<\/p>\n

The blogger, 32-year-old Sholto David, of Pontypridd, Wales, is a scientist-sleuth who detects cut-and-paste image manipulation in published scientific papers.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not the only hobbyist poking through pixels. Other champions of scientific integrity are keeping researchers and science journals on their toes. They use special software, oversize computer monitors and their eagle eyes to find flipped, duplicated and stretched images, along with potential plagiarism.<\/p>\n

A look at the situation at Dana-Farber and the sleuths hunting sloppy errors and outright fabrications:<\/p>\n

WHAT HAPPENED AT DANA-FARBER?<\/h2>\n

In a\u00a0Jan. 2 blog post<\/a>, Sholto David presented suspicious images from more than 30 published papers by four Dana-Farber scientists, including CEO Laurie Glimcher and COO William Hahn.<\/p>\n

Many images appeared to have duplicated segments that would make the scientists\u2019 results look stronger. The papers under scrutiny involve lab research on the workings of cells. One involved samples from bone marrow from human volunteers.<\/p>\n

The blog post included problems spotted by David and others previously exposed by sleuths on\u00a0PubPeer<\/a>, a site that allows anonymous comments on scientific papers.<\/p>\n

Student journalists at\u00a0The Harvard Crimson<\/a>\u00a0covered the story on Jan. 12, followed by reports in other news media. Sharpening the attention was the recent plagiarism investigation involving former Harvard president Claudine Gay, who\u00a0resigned early this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

HOW DID DANA-FARBER RESPOND?<\/h2>\n

Dana-Farber said it already had been looking into some of the problems before the blog post. By Jan. 22, the institution said it was in the process of requesting six retractions of published research and that another 31 papers warranted corrections.<\/p>\n

Retractions are serious. When a journal retracts an article that usually means the research is so severely flawed that the findings are no longer reliable.<\/p>\n

Dr. Barrett Rollins, research integrity officer at Dana-Farber, said in a statement: \u201cFollowing the usual practice at Dana-Farber to review any potential data error and make corrections when warranted, the institution and its scientists already have taken prompt and decisive action in 97 percent of the cases that had been flagged by blogger Sholto David.\u201d<\/p>\n

WHO ARE THE SLEUTHS?<\/h2>\n

California microbiologist Elisabeth Bik, 57, has been sleuthing for a decade. Based on her work, scientific journals have retracted 1,133 articles, corrected 1,017 others and printed 153 expressions of concern, according to a spreadsheet where she tracks what happens after she reports problems.<\/p>\n

She has found doctored images of bacteria, cell cultures and western blots, a lab technique for detecting proteins.<\/p>\n

\u201cScience should be about finding the truth,\u201d Bik told The Associated Press. She\u00a0published an analysis<\/a>\u00a0in the American Society for Microbiology in 2016: Of more than 20,000 peer-reviewed papers, nearly 4% had image problems, about half where the manipulation seemed intentional.<\/p>\n

Bik\u2019s work brings donations from Patreon subscribers of about $2,300 per month and occasional honoraria from speaking engagements. David told AP his Patreon income recently picked up to $216 per month.<\/p>\n

Technology has made it easier to root out image manipulation and plagiarism, said Ivan Oransky, who teaches medical journalism at New York University and co-founded the\u00a0Retraction Watch<\/a>\u00a0blog. The sleuths download scientific papers and use software tools to help find problems.<\/p>\n

Others doing the investigative work remain anonymous and post their findings under pseudonyms. Together, they have \u201cchanged the equation\u201d in scientific publication, Oransky said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want science to be and do better,\u201d Oransky said. \u201cAnd they are frustrated by how uninterested most people in academia \u2014 and certainly in publishing \u2014 are in correcting the record.\u201d They\u2019re also concerned about the erosion of public trust in science.<\/p>\n

WHAT MOTIVATES MISCONDUCT?<\/h2>\n

Bik said some mistakes could be sloppy errors where images were mislabeled or \u201csomebody just grabbed the wrong photo.\u201d<\/p>\n

But some images are obviously altered with sections duplicated or rotated or flipped. Scientists building their careers or seeking tenure face pressure to get published. Some may intentionally falsify data, knowing that the process of peer review \u2014 when a journal sends a manuscript to experts for comments \u2014 is unlikely to catch fakery.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, the motivation is to get published,\u201d Oransky said. \u201cWhen the images don\u2019t match the story you\u2019re trying to tell, you beautify them.\u201d<\/p>\n

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?<\/h2>\n

Scientific journals investigate errors brought to their attention but usually keep their processes confidential until they take action with a retraction or correction.<\/p>\n

Some journals told the AP they are aware of the concerns raised by David\u2019s blog post and were looking into the matter.<\/p>\n
