November 07, 2024 on-site at the DBFZ in Leipzig & Online via Zoom X

The trustworthiness of science, or of the people conducting research in scientific institutions, is based on the integrity of the research data collected. If untrue or falsified research results are deliberately published and later discovered, this is often associated with a loss of reputation for the respective institution and discipline. Originally, the term fake science was used to summarise deliberately false approaches such as arbitrary evaluations, manipulation of results or images. However, with the increasing emergence and application of artificial intelligence methods, there is now a growing number of scientific articles and journals across all disciplines whose value is highly dubious.

For this reason, the DBFZ and the BMEL project KiDa (Artificial Intelligence and Data Accelerator) invite you to a full-day workshop on ‘Fake Science’ to learn more about so-called fake science publications and the methodology behind them. The target group for this event is all people working in science. The workshop will be held on-site for all DBFZ employees; interested parties from external institutions have the option of joining.
