Two new facts stand out: 1. 85% of hallucinated citations in preprints are also in the subsequent journal version (thanks, peer review!) 2. Fake cites more likely to use the names of (male) scholars who are already highly cited, creating a fake-citation Matthew effect. arxiv.org/abs/2605.07723

#arXiv is banning researchers for one year whose manuscripts contain hallucinated references. My latest for @nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/d41... @briannosek.bsky.social, @tdietterich.bsky.social, @richardsever.bsky.social, @dermotlynott.bsky.social, @philipncohen.com, #WCRI2026

Researchers who use hallucinated references to face arXiv ban

The preprint server is the latest to impose stiff penalties on authors who contribute to AI ‘slop’ — but not everyone is convinced it’s the right approach.

Have examples of social science papers that use DAGs to justify their controls? I find these very hard to come by & would like to use for teaching.

Happy to share that our large-scale network analysis is now out in @nathumbehav.nature.com We show that networks are often supported by too little evidence from the data for results to be reported with confidence, not meaning that results are flawed but rather suggests caution in interpretation.

Nature Human Behaviour@nathumbehav.nature.com · 10mo ago

Psychometric network models have become increasingly popular in psychology and the social sciences. Huth et al. show that many reported network findings are based on weak or inconclusive evidence inviting caution when interpreting results.

Great study! A general implication is that when we infer effects of retrospectively measure variables on outcomes, we’re largely just seeing the effects of how people are currently feeling.

Thanks to everybody who chimed in! I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist. So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>
