Unmask the many faces of fake research: How to protect                                                     
yourself from Scholarly Misinformation on your academic journey.                                    

Have you ever heard the term “pseudoscience”? Do you know what a predatory
journal is? And why should that even be of any interest to you as a student?
Unlike fake news, the issue of fake research has not yet achieved the level of
notoriety it deserves. However, pseudoscientific misinformation such as climate
change denial or the return of once-defeated diseases due to growing
anti-vaccination sentiment has far-reaching consequences for our society.
This lightning talk aims to raise awareness of this issue at an early stage.
It is particularly important for students who are just starting their academic
careers to recognize fake research as an issue early on, and to consider it in
the context of academic integrity.

Contested authority: How the academy defines “fake news”                                          
Authority is called into question increasingly in our ever-expanding and                  
complex information environment, with new platforms, networks, and
media emerging all the time. Given the growth of unreliable information in
our society, the term “fake news” has emerged (as one of many) to describe
much of what we are experiencing. But what exactly is fake news? Without
defining it, how can we even hope to address its influence. For its part, the
academy struggles to define it. This presentation will discuss results of a recent
study that explored how fake news was defined in academic research.

3:20 – 3:35
A brief intro to Artificial Intelligence                                                                                                                           
We will explore some potential uses of Generative AI (GenAI) to assist with 
Student Research, literature reviews, and consider ethical considerations such as 
plagerism, privacy, and research integrity. We will consider some of the ways that the
unskillful use of GenAI can negatively impact people.
