Study: Fraud growing in scientific research papers
WASHINGTON — Fraud in scientific research, while still rare, is growing at a troubling pace, a new study finds. A review of retractions in medical and biological peer-reviewed journals finds the percentage of studies withdrawn because of fraud or suspected fraud has jumped substantially since the mid-1970s. In 1976, there were fewer than 10 fraud retractions for every 1 million studies published, compared with 96 retractions per million in 2007.
Fraud in scientific research isn't rare.
It's only rare when they get caught, because the bureaucracy is taught to ignore fraud, and there is a serious lack of ethics and oversight. Rotten to the core.
Keep shouting loud to keep the taxpayer funding flowing in, this is who they are.
Speaking of fraud, I wrote this for the Free Press on newsvine. There are some comments. http://bore-head007.newsvine.com/_news/2012/09/30…
