A CRO has been scamming academic and industry labs in the US with fraudulent data that has been published in Nature and other high impact journals. Leonid has written a great piece on my findings: forbetterscience.com/2025/09/22/i...

When I said that "People being shot is a price I am willing to pay for the freedom to shoot people", obviously I meant *other* people.

On that day, a rump Nazi government led by Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz was holed up in a naval academy gym on the Baltic coast, the Soviet flag had been raised over the Reichstag, Hitler had been dead for a week, and German forces controlled only the tiniest bit of ... Germany.

Retraction nr 18 for the #fraud Pau Loke Show. Amazingly The university of Nottingham Malaysia offered him a full time full professorship contract. Why? Because they don't care! Fraud pays off, yet again! When will this stop? Retraction notice is clear: again manipulation of the review process!

Potentially major news! This retraction is the first of most likely many in the #papermill journal Environmental Pollution from @elsevierconnect.bsky.social. It was under the control of corrupt EIC J. Rinklebe from @uni-wuppertal.bsky.social

Curious how this post omits the words “Russia” and “Putin.”

Thanks Harvard, for taking a stand. Perhaps we should all stand together….

Granskingen av Filippo Berto ser ut til å være et godt stykke arbeid og uttalelsene fra dekan Olav Bolland er fornuftige: www.universitetsavisa.no/filippo-bert...

The front page of Oncotarget looks pretty @pubpeer.com-heavy. Those cyan/greenish banners are the PubPeer plug-in (browser extension) at work, showing which papers have earned a comment or concern. Here is it mostly plagiarism and image duplications.

Our paper on 🧻fake patents🧻 has been published in the International Journal for Educational Integrity! 🥳 I hope you give it a read. rdcu.be/eiAT7 #PaperMills #AcademicIntegrity #ResearchIntegrity #Fraud

It took @springernature.com five years to retract a paper containing blatantly fabricated data. It was listed "the best of Cancer Gene Therapy 2017-2018". It has been cited 61 times. @natureportfolio.nature.com #China #Fraud #Science #Glioma #Cancer pubpeer.com/publications...

Larry the Cat is a hero. @reeserichardson.bsky.social is here too.

The newest bullshit from the Scienceguardians is out👇Notice how they mix up perpetrator 1 with 2. They had to say perpetrator 1 here not 2. I am having a harder time each time to read their BS. I won't bother to read it anymore, waste of time. @thatsregrettab1.bsky.social x.com/SciGuardians...

ScienceGuardians, where disgruntled authors complain about PubPeer A new BSky account that promises some big reveals about PubPeer users, but never delivers. Instead, it spews false accusations and conspiracy theories. Read my blog post: scienceintegritydigest.com/2025/04/18/s...

On Twitter/X, @SciGuardians, ScienceGuardians, is promising to 'uncover' some big conspiracy of fraudulent @pubpeer.com users. But in reality, the account appears to be run by a disgruntled scientist with dozens of problematic papers. 🧵

South #Korea has a huge problem with falsification of #biomedical data. Thinking about the wasted funds and misinformation leading to dead ends and less progress and development: Why this lack of responsiblity from universities, funding agency and government?

Cancer researcher Dr. Jasti Rao has entered the @retractionwatch.com Leaderboard. I have reported over 100 papers to the institutions, and posted them on @pubpeer.com using my pseudonym Lotus Azoricus. HT: SpottingTheSpot on X. retractionwatch.com/the-retracti...

For more than a decade, Insug Kang and co-authors from Kyung Hee University, #Korea have published fabricated data. pubpeer.com/search?q=Ins... Misbeaviour of scientific publishing results in the spread of misinformation and a serious misuse of public research funds. #science #fraud

And at @forbetterscience.bsky.social , @smutclyde.bsky.social wrote “another lengthy foray into the demi-monde of duplicated and manipulated images” about the many problematic papers from Dr. Rao’s labs. And some extortion tape transcripts as well! forbetterscience.com/2019/10/21/n...

💩-ton of papers implicated in NNSF of China's April misconduct announcement. Many have been retracted. Of the 27 papers not yet retracted, @weldeiry.bsky.social is journal Editor-in-Chief or Associate Editor-in-Chief on 8 ( or~30%). Announcement here: www.nsfc.gov.cn/publish/port...

Good news: we have received a full APC waiver!

Why you can't trust @elsevierconnect.bsky.social , well because they don't kick out corrupt editors! EIC Cecilia Maria Villas Bôas de Almeida already has 1 retraction for her fraud, but a second paper changed 'editor' all of a sudden, but here also a conflict of interest! pubpeer.com/publications...

Fraudulent scientists are attempting to deflect attention from their misconduct by turning the narrative against whistleblowers. @thatsregrettab1.bsky.social @elisabethbik.bsky.social @smutclyde.bsky.social @forbetterscience.bsky.social x.com/SciGuardians... #ScienceGuardians #fraud

Our goal is to publish this in Bioengineered to inform their readers. However, we are not willing to pay the APC of over $3000 and asked for a waiver. @tandfresearch.bsky.social has offered us a 50% discount but that's not good enough. They promised to respond within 3 days, 10 days ago....

Data manipulations are now accepted by universities in South #Korea One example: doi.org/10.3858/emm.... pubpeer.com/publications... The Kyung Hee University didn't see any problems with the manipulated data. I found additional problems using ImageTwin. #fraud @natureportfolio.nature.com

Editor of crappy journals whines about people trying to clean up the crap. If his university is investigating him, as he suggests… Finally!

Now on arXiv: @deadneanderthals.bsky.social's preprint on paper mill contamination in @tandfresearch.bsky.social's journal Bioengineered. An analysis of 878 papers, of which 226 (25.7%) were identified as problematic. That is a lot! arxiv.org/abs/2503.21267

Yung Hyun Choi from Dong-Eui University, South Korea, is listed with ~700 published papers. They are probably worth nothing, and have only contributed to scientific blind gates. #Korea #science #research #fraud pubpeer.com/search?q=yun...

COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) has one integrity officer, Iratxe Puebla. She has authored only one biology research paper. It is now retracted for image manipulation. Learn by experience!

If "researchers" repeatedly make obvious mistakes—such as using a non-specific antibody or misanalyzing apoptosis—it is highly likely that they are cutting corners across the board. pubpeer.com/search?q=Yun... #Research #Science #Korea #fraud #Jeju #University

Once a wellspring of knowledge for progress, scientific literature has increasingly become a quagmire of misinformation. Today, one must assume that any given scientific article may contain manipulated or fabricated data. pubpeer.com/search?q=yun...

In case you thought your 2025 was going poorly, just think of the emails the publisher of Carbohydrate Polymers has been getting about problematic papers in their journal. 139 articles flagged and I only went through a fraction of their recent catalogue! Papermill-Heaven! #AcademicIntegrity

Prolific research fraud Sam S Yoon still employed by Columbia. The eternal internal investigation grinds on. I suspect his job is likely safer than ever given the recent cuts, presumably his surgery is a revenue stream. forbetterscience.com/2023/11/01/m...
