Labour leader Iain Gray issued the demand when he clashed with Mr Salmond at First Ministers Questions in the Scottish Parliament.
The exchanges came just two days after Labour called for an investigation into the way the Government used quotes from work by academics professors Andrew Hughes Hallet and Drew Scott, claiming phrases had been changed to make the case for increased devolution.
Today Mr Salmond insisted Labour's objections boiled down to "the insertion of a square bracket explaining what fiscal devolution means".
But Mr Gray said: "Leadership is a question of character, of trust and of judgment. If you take a piece of disputed research and you then doctor it to mean something else and you then embellish it and multiply the figures up to suit your argument, how can you be trusted?
