As generative AI becomes increasingly integrated into research and academic writing, fabricated—or "hallucinated"—references are emerging as a significant challenge for research integrity.
In this talk, Nick Wise explores how plagiarism detection and text-analysis tools can be used to identify suspicious or non-existent citations, helping researchers, reviewers, publishers, and institutions improve the quality and trustworthiness of scholarly outputs. The session considers the opportunities and limitations of current approaches, alongside the broader implications of AI-assisted writing for the future of scientific publishing.
This presentation was recorded as part of the King's Open Research Summer School 2026, a free international event hosted by King's College London bringing together leading researchers to discuss open science, reproducibility, research integrity, and emerging challenges in modern research.
