When ChatGPT gets it wrong

AI versus Human Intelligence

ChatGPT’s capabilities are irrefutable. However, when asked to edit the language of scientific papers, it can make mistakes. Crucially, ChatGPT best guesses the next word; it cannot deduce the author’s intended meaning in the same way an experienced subject-matter expert can, and it cannot leave comments asking for clarification as a human editor would do.

Many journals now ask for unprocessed western blot images. How long should the lab keep them?

Unprocessed original image of western blot

Those journals that ask for unprocessed original images of gels and western blots often publish the data as supplementary materials. In such cases, you do not need to keep the data at all, as the published article acts as a sort of repository, where your data will be stored in perpetuity. Other journals may ask […]

Error message on a computer

Covering up a mistake is perceived as dramatically worse than the mistake itself. Discovering an error in a past publication can be a terrifying experience. However, if the mistake was genuinely unintentional, you should contact the journal to issue a correction/retraction. Doing so, and being as transparent as possible about the error, may even generate […]

Biomedical images – how much processing is too much?

Featured image showing a manipulated western blot

Of almost 4000 retractions listed in the Retraction Watch database in 2021, over a quarter involved “concerns/issues about image” or “duplication of image.” Similarly, a recent study found that two-thirds of 120,000+ comments on PubPeer involve concerns about images. Inappropriate manipulations range from innocent errors to “beautification” to intentional falsification. It is unsurprising, then, that […]

How can I create a good impression with my cover letter?

The cover letter seems very impersonal, how can I make it more impressive so that the Editor will treat my submission favorably? The review of your article will be based on your research and how it is presented in the article itself. However, the Editor has to agree to send your article for review. As […]
