Fault-Based Publication Ethics: The Case for Source Custody in an Era of AI Citation Contamination

June 3, 2026 by Basil Puglisi Leave a Comment

Flowchart showing how a citation enters a manuscript, propagates through downstream papers, and contaminates the record.

Fabricated citations in biomedicine increased tenfold in three years, and 98.4% of flagged papers remain uncorrected. The automated enforcement wave is arriving, but it carries false-positive rates that hit honest authors hardest. This working paper proposes a five-level fault ladder and a Source Provenance Ledger that makes verification effort visible, producible on challenge, and driven by market adoption rather than mandates.

SCOPE: SOURCE CUSTODY OBSERVABLE PUBLICATION EVIDENCE

Your citations are only as strong as the record behind them. HAIA-SCOPE is a three-tier documentation protocol that records what you verified, when you verified it, and where the preserved copy lives. The record stays private until you need it. When automated enforcement flags your work or a reviewer challenges a citation, only the author who maintained a SCOPE record can produce one.

TL;DR AI moderation works best as a hybrid system that uses machines for speed and humans for judgment. Automated filters handle clear cut cases and lighten moderator workload, while human review catches context, nuance, and bias. The goal is not to replace people but to build accountable, measurable programs that reduce decision time, improve trust, […]

Growth OS with AI Trust

Part 2: From Pilots to Transformation Pilots are safe. Transformation is bold. That is why so many AI projects stop at the experiment stage. The difference is not in the tools but in the system leaders build around them. Organizations that treat AI as an add-on end up with slide decks. Organizations that treat it […]

Why AI Detection Tools Fail at Measuring Value [OPINION]

AI detection platforms promise certainty, but what they really deliver is confusion. Originality.ai, GPTZero, Turnitin, Copyscape, and Writer.com all claim to separate human writing from synthetic text. The idea sounds neat, but the assumption behind it is flawed. These tools dress themselves up as arbiters of truth when in reality they measure patterns, not value. […]
