Some authors are astonishingly laid back regarding manipulation of images. This one takes the biscuit: "A portion of this micrograph has been modified in order to obtain a nicer image..." 🤯 We made an animation to show the modifications: pubpeer.com/publications... Can't get over it!

youtu.be/PBiVbUqjMIs pubpeer.com/publications...

Love to see the authors explain this one! youtu.be/eW0sBcAX12I pubpeer.com/publications...

No idea how @elisabethbik.bsky.social found this one! youtu.be/Q8mb6OGkPEk pubpeer.com/publications...

Author claims these mice are not identical. What do you think? youtu.be/6Me6Gcw7Na4 pubpeer.com/publications...

Author has supplied hi res files, arguing there is no similarity between then. youtu.be/Q4tFJ7qBRxg pubpeer.com/publications...

Author claims blots are not copies youtu.be/UOuMhDeQMIg pubpeer.com/publications...

An unusual find by @elisabethbik.bsky.social youtu.be/3kQPBLFPE38 pubpeer.com/publications...

Author claims there is no similarity between the images youtu.be/JbBvdmytb9Q pubpeer.com/publications...

youtu.be/dNg0eAR3Da4 pubpeer.com/publications...

Love to hear the authors' explanation of this anomaly: youtu.be/q4C68rzKpf8 pubpeer.com/publications...

Laugh or cry? youtu.be/wLxqp-9Mgns pubpeer.com/publications... #researchintegrity

Another noise matching example in a scientific paper. Thanks to @sholtodavid.bsky.social for spotting this. youtu.be/1GeKs8BCb_k pubpeer.com/publications...

This is an example of how animating shows probable duplication and manipulation. See how the background noise matches up. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTzb... pubpeer.com/publications...

River Valley launches ReView 3.0 with Research Integrity checks! www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Sometimes an animation takes a long time to do, but well worth it. Here are some creative Western blots found by @elisabethbik.bsky.social youtu.be/Vlof359C-O4 pubpeer.com/publications...

We all know that @elisabethbik.bsky.social has super-human vision and we have no idea how she picked up these matching noise patterns. It is a pleasure to be able to support her work. :-) youtu.be/aMLVWFCpjH8 pubpeer.com/publications...

Author says these curves are not quite identical. What do you think? youtu.be/RKLMCervnk0 pubpeer.com/publications...

Scientific research :-( www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F_B... pubpeer.com/publications...

Yet another amazing find by @elisabethbik.bsky.social. And sadly, yet again in Cancer research. :-( youtu.be/KRVU2WPoFAc pubpeer.com/publications...

A typical case where background noise in an image shows duplication. youtu.be/Z1W5p6ooXCs pubpeer.com/publications...

It is often the background noise that shows image manipulations have taken place youtu.be/QsbPOSeLLVg pubpeer.com/publications...

Laugh or cry? youtu.be/4A-qp09mGLA pubpeer.com/publications...

A duplication was noted by @elisabethbik.bsky.social in 2019. Others chimed in with more. Here's our animation of 4 panels overlapping. youtu.be/vtnj2jjR6BA pubpeer.com/publications...

Satisfying and depressing at the same time. Thanks to @academic-integrity.bsky.social for spotting this. youtu.be/5EbUapvYn40 pubpeer.com/publications...

Thanks to @academic-integrity.bsky.social for spotting the huge number of duplications and manipulations here. It took us a while to create the animation, but worth it! youtu.be/zAGdiXrRkhY pubpeer.com/publications...

Satisfying but depressing at the same time. youtu.be/PCOT2gw0jN0 pubpeer.com/publications...

Await explanation from authors on this one! youtu.be/vUoU_apZ7_c pubpeer.com/publications... @academic-integrity.bsky.social

Astonishing find by @mumumouse2.bsky.social We extracted the vector images and reduced the line width to get a precise match! youtu.be/Lz829CHDoNk pubpeer.com/publications...

Author says these two noise patterns are different. What so you say? youtu.be/0dcy51qgzmE pubpeer.com/publications...

Curing hair loss using photoshop! youtu.be/9dywSjZKBF4?... @elisabethbik.bsky.social

How to use PhotoShop in research! youtu.be/xbQLMZzABR4 pubpeer.com/publications...

It is sometimes possible to extract vector images from PDF files and reducing the linewidth in order to get a more accurate match. This is one such example. youtu.be/8vEC0ssIdTg pubpeer.com/publications...

Not sure how people like @deadneanderthals.bsky.social find these duplications and hard to confirm even side by side, but this is where our animations are most satisfying! youtu.be/_vX7X7KgDJ0 pubpeer.com/publications...

The animations we do sometimes show unexpected results. For instance this one shows the panels are not simple duplications. youtu.be/oTSjyLy1aZo pubpeer.com/publications...

A complicated set of duplications, involving rotation, reflection and magnification. The sleuths do the amazing work of spotting these. We are honoured to help with animation. youtu.be/E-G4DExGjXc pubpeer.com/publications...

Absolutely no idea how @elisabethbik.bsky.social found this duplication, but happy to animate it. ;-) youtu.be/LzkVXIMfw90 https-//pubpeer.com/publications/608231C00E1678D26E05C42061651B#3

A technical point: Sometimes figures are embedded in PDF files in vector form. So we can extract them and reduce line widths, making any duplications clearer. An example here: youtu.be/oeR7onef3e8 pubpeer.com/publications...

There are a lot of so-called FACS plots that have suspicious similarities. Here is one example we animated: pubpeer.com/publications... youtu.be/KYeUWWnTbWE

Unusual similarities in two figures www.youtube.com/watch?v=FimX... pubpeer.com/publications...

Not sure how @elisabethbik.bsky.social finds these subtle anomalies but we are always happy to help with the visualization. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXl1... pubpeer.com/publications...

It is perhaps perversely satisfying when alleged duplications match perfectly. This is normally when the original figures are of high resolution and free from image compression artifacts. youtu.be/lXnJSgJdOd0 pubpeer.com/publications...

Where would we be without PhotoShop! youtu.be/wuky1qk5cVk pubpeer.com/publications...

Suspiciously similar images youtu.be/oL1weDMlVvQ pubpeer.com/publications...

More similar that expected... youtu.be/9sRnkZfiQ8A pubpeer.com/publications...

Happy to have helped @mumumouse2.bsky.social spot duplications and manipulations in scientific images. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gy6... pubpeer.com/publications... www.linkedin.com/posts/mu-yan...

We sometimes wonder why we do not publish images at higher resolution in journals. Perversely, images that *are* higher resolution make it easier to spot duplication, like this one. Thanks to @elisabethbik.bsky.social as ever for spotting this. youtu.be/MrE4ILm6_-g pubpeer.com/publications...
