Diagnostic Foundation for Evaluating LLMs' Research Integrity as Co-Scientists
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.12345v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models are increasingly deployed as co-scientists, yet their ability to uphold research integrity under institutional pressure remains unmeasured. We introduce IntegrityBench, a benchmark evaluating misconduct classification, ethical action reasoning and artifact-grounded decision making across 36 paired tasks under a 5-level implicit-explicit pressure protocol spanning 3 domains and 4 research stages. Evaluating 18 frontier model variants, we find that under peak pressure, models fail roughly 1 in 3 integrity-critical decisions, and nei

Why it matters
“Diagnostic Foundation for Evaluating LLMs' Research Integrity as Co-Scientists” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
