概括
科学图像的重复破坏了人们的信任. 一项由ASM期刊使用ImagetwinAI的试点研究发现并解决了3.9%的手稿中的图像重复,提高了研究完整性.
科学领域:
- 科学出版
- 研究诚信
- 图像分析
背景情况:
- 无论是意外还是故意,科学文章中的图像重复都会严重破坏对研究,作者,机构和出版商的信任.
- 这种重复引发了科学严谨性,潜在的不当行为以及同行评审和编辑监督的有效性,从而削弱了对科学记录的信任.
- 积极检测图像重复对于保持发表的研究可信度至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 评估将基于人工智能的工具 (Imagetwin) 整合到编辑工作流中以检测图像重复的有效性.
- 评估提交给ASM期刊的手稿中发现的图像重复的频率和性质.
- 完善科学出版物中图像完整性的早期和更有效的选过程.
主要方法:
- 在美国微生物学协会 (ASM) 期刊的编辑工作流程中实施Imagetwin人工智能工具.
- 在出版之前进行为期一年的试点研究选接受的,符合条件的手稿复制图像.
- 分析所发现的图像问题类型和解决过程,包括对手稿接受的影响.
主要成果:
- 在试点研究中,使用Imagetwin选的合格手稿中有3. 9%出现图像重复.
- 大多数被发现的形象问题是无意的,并通过与作者沟通成功解决.
- 由于未解决的图像重复问题,对0.23%的选手稿的接受被撤销.
结论:
- 整合像Imagetwin这样的人工智能工具,
- 试点研究表明,积极的图像选加强了科学记录的完整性,并加强了常规的伦理检查.
- ASM期刊成功改进了其工作流程, 包括图像重复选, 提高了整体研究可信度.

Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy
5.3K
Optical microscopy uses optic principles to provide detailed images of samples. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek designed the first compound optical microscope in the 17th century to visualize blood cells, bacteria, and yeast cells. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes with enhanced magnification and resolution.

Improving Translational Accuracy
11.9K
Base complementarity between the three base pairs of mRNA codon and the tRNA anticodon is not a failsafe mechanism. Inaccuracies can range from a single mismatch to no correct base pairing at all. The free energy difference between the correct and nearly correct base pairs can be as small as 3 kcal/ mol. With complementarity being the only proofreading step, the estimated error frequency would be one wrong amino acid in every 100 amino acids incorporated. However, error frequencies observed in...

Genome Copying Errors
4.4K
DNA replication is a well-evolved process that copies millions of base pairs with high fidelity during each cell division. Occasionally a wrong base or a long stretch of wrong bases may get added to the daughter strands. If the errors are left unchecked, cells might accumulate several mutations that might endanger their survival. Therefore, the copying errors are checked and repaired at three levels.
