Not a single molecule
“Nothing helps more to happily resolve such “scientific controversies” than replacement data, and this is exactly what Prof. Guo and his group provided in their response. ” – Maarten van Kampen

MIT review closed and decision final
“MIT’s receipt and review of allegations of possible research misconduct by my office are treated as confidential under MIT and, to the extent applicable, federal policies. MIT does not intend to
disclose its receipt and review of these allegations to others. By the same token, you therefore may not disclose to others that you brought your concern to the VPR’s attention, or the outcome of MIT’s review of the concern.” Letter to Maarten van Kampen
Karimipour Saga III: All roads lead to Rome
“The academic career of D’Orazio is tightly coupled to that of Karimipour since she hosted him at Sapienza. Of the 57 papers she declared authorship for, 25 (44%) are published together with Karimipour.” – Maarten van Kmapen
Karimipour Saga II: Vietnamese Bauhaus
“[Timon Rabczuk] is happily accepting 2 million euro of European money, whilst at the same time optimizing his return-on-investment on Vietnamese affiliation scam and cashing in on his ‘highly cited researcher’ accolades by also posing as King Saud researcher.” – Maarten van Kampen
Karimipour Saga I: Setting Boundaries
“The business of selling authorships and citations needs a steady supply of paper-shaped vehicles. It is most efficient to produce these in assembly lines that focus on a narrow topic.” – Maarten van Kampen
Thomas Südhof and the standards of scientific rigor
Maarten van Kampen’s second attempt at hounding of Nobel papers.
Science moves forward with productive and meaningful activities
“Yup we are being hounded.” – Thomas Südhof
Superconductive Fraud: The Sequel
“After the huge box-office success of “Nature 2020: Room-temperature superconductivity in CSH” this March our Nature studios released a sequel with the same star-studded cast: “Nature 2023: Near-ambient superconductivity in N-doped LuHx”. – Maarten van Kampen
Bottom of the barrel: BatDolphin-based sparse fuzzy algorithm
“BatDolphin-based sparse fuzzy algorithm, cat swarm optimization, honey bees optimization, moth amalgamated elephant herding optimization, fitness sorted moth search algorithm, improved tunicate swarm optimization, lion algorithm, deer hunting optimization, various rider optimization schemes, grey wolf optimization, cuckoo search, and finally a bat algorithm. Such a zoo of names immediately raises suspicion, and for a good reason.” – Maarten van Kampen
Bottom of the barrel: Nanofluids & Chamkha
“Did you know that Chamkha is “Ranked in the World’s Top 0.02267% Scientist”? Or that he “Completed all degrees in a record time of five years”?” – Maarten van Kampen
