There’s far more scientific fraud than anyone wants to admit – The Guardian (Ivan Oransky & Adam Marcus | August 2023)
The amount of questionable research practices and the growing number is incredibly concerning. In this piece, Retraction Watch, co-founders Ivan Oransky & Adam Marcus reflect upon this problem and why we all should be concerned. Dodgy research can lead to compromised treatments and nonsense theories underpinning treatments, services and policies. The problems with the research may result in retractions of the research outputs. Still, as we have reported before, the retraction process and the continued citation of retracted papers can perpetuate the problem.
