The "publish or perish" culture in academia has intensified trends in medical research, particularly around artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. This letter highlights how the pressure to publish positive findings during research trends, such as artificial intelligence in medicine, exacerbates the replication crisis. Issues like data leakage and lack of cross-institutional validation in AI models, particularly in clinical radiology, raise concerns about their reliability. The letter urges authors, reviewers, and editors to enforce rigorous standards to ensure reproducibility and safeguard the integrity of medical research.
学术界“不发表就淘汰”的文化加剧了医学研究的趋势，尤其是围绕人工智能（AI）和机器学习的研究。这封信强调了在诸如医学人工智能等研究趋势中发表阳性结果的压力如何加剧了复制危机。人工智能模型中数据泄露和缺乏跨机构验证等问题，尤其是在临床放射学领域，引发了对其可靠性的担忧。这封信敦促作者、审稿人和编辑执行严格的标准，以确保可重复性并维护医学研究的完整性。
