Academics and technologists are sounding the alarm about a growing crisis in scholarship as we know it: AI-generated citations of nonexistent papers that have infested real journals. Despite being fake, the sources are widely assumed to be authentic the more they appear in published literature.
The image is of a recruitment poster for a research study: (images) University of Salford and Leverhulme Trust logos (text) Hearing loss, wellbeing and music Do you have first hand experience of hearing loss? Do you regularly listen to music? Are you interested in taking part in a research study? You are eligible to take part if you: are 18 years or older, have experience of hearing loss, listen to music in your day-to-day life. The study will involve: taking part in an online survey (about 20 minutes), answering questions about your hearing, how you engage with music, and questions about mental health and wellbeing. For more information: Please email Addie Beckwith, PhD student at the University of Salford - a.m.beckwith@edu.salford.ac.uk. Supervisors: Dr Duncan Williams and Dr Robert Bendall (images) A large ear, a mute symbol, musical notes and a treble clef, an MP3 player and wired earbuds.

Do you have experience of hearing loss? Do you regularly listen to music? If you can answer yes to both questions, then we would like to hear from you.
This study is concerned with understanding the link between everyday music listening, mental health & wellbeing.

Summary of design and results from our three studies. (A: Design) Each study used a similar experimental design, measuring both positive and negative demand in an online experiment, with three commonly-used task types (dictator game, vignette, intervention). Our experiments had ns ≈ 250 per cell. (B: Results) Observed demand effects were statistically indistinguishable from zero. The plot shows means and 95% confidence intervals for standardized mean differences derived from frequentist analyses of each experiment and an inverse variance-weighted fixed-effect estimator pooling all experiments (solid bars). Prior measurements of experimenter demand from a previous dictator game experiment (de Quidt et al., 2018; standardized mean difference from regression coefficient) and a meta-analysis primarily including small-sample, in-person studies (Coles et al., 2025; Hedge’s g statistic) are also shown for comparison (striped bars). The main text includes Bayesian analyses that quantify our uncertainty.
We often hear from reviewers: "what about demand effects?" So we developed a method to eliminate them. Something weird happened during testing: We couldn’t detect demand effects in the first place! (1/8)

No empirical support for 'Double Empathy' hypothesis from preregistered study:

"We hypothesized that information transfer would deteriorate faster and rapport would be lower in mixed-neurotype compared with single-neurotype chains."
But no difference was found.

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times less accurate than humans.
Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.
Campaign groups in the US, UK and India claim that TV subtitles will help children learn to read. But our new research published in @psychscience.bsky.social shows that children don't even look at subtitles until they can already read at around 1 word per second.
