    • Statement 1 is correct: From 2025, the NIRF will introduce negative scoring for retracted research papers and their citations, making research integrity a ranking criterion. • Statement 2 is incorrect: The penalties will be mild initially and will become stricter over time, signaling a gradual transition towards zero tolerance. • Statement 3 is correct: The reform explicitly targets data fabrication, image manipulation, and improper use of large language models (LLMs), among other unethical practices. Thus, the correct answer is 1 and 3 only.
