By Leonid Schneider, on research integrity, biomedical ethics and academic publishing
Schneider Shorts 28.04.2023 – old American papers in need of fixing, young russian and Iranian researchers in need of helping, French whistleblowers in need of punishing, Austrian anti-aging supplements in need of advertising, with an anti-aging pimp on cocaine, depressive fish in China, cured Israeli soldiers, and finally, retractions in full, in part and not at all.
Schneider Shorts 10.03.2023 – two science bigwigs caught with unaffected conclusions, return of superconductive fraud in Nature, other examples of who’s trustworthy and who isn’t, what Stanford president knew, some retractions, MDPI fighting papermills, a German journal can’t stop papermilling, and finally, who blew up Nord Stream pipelines?
Schneider Shorts 24.02.2023 – Macchiarini trial reopens in Sweden, Stanford’s president’s dark past, UCLA dentists continue terrorizing whistleblower, with an open letter to CNRS, Quora revelations, journals dealing with papermill fraud, genius discoveries, and finally, a China-owned T&F journal spewing genocide propaganda.
Schneider Shorts 20.012023 – an Imperial retraction, investigators appointed in Stanford, a sexual harasser arrives in Harvard, greedy crook reverses aging, with another Cassava paper whitewashed, the secret of high impact factors, why some Italian fraudster’s papers are safe.
Everyone is talking about Stanford’s President Marc Tessier-Lavigne now. OK, let’s talk about him, and how Stanford deals with research fraud. And then let’s talk about Thomas Rando.
Schneider Shorts 8.12.2022 – with a harassed nano-fabricator in France, growing pressure on Stanford president, a resigned dean of Weill Cornell, a resigned psychology editor, a Chilean cheater suspended for 2 months, Elon’s monkey torture, stolen fossils kerfuffle, Elisabeth Bik finds an Easter Egg, and as usual, scholarly publishers misbehaving.
Schneider Shorts 2.12.2022 – Stanford president’s fake science suddenly in the news, curcumin cheater in Michigan makes lab members apologise, Indian lab’s science proven reliable despite fake data, with lazy russian papermillers, a Japanese astronaut caught on research fraud, musical genes discovered, and the real papermill heroes established by The BMJ.
From Lesné’s public shame to successful role models of neuroscience like Aguzzi and Tessier-Lavigne.
Scholarly publishing is broken, and no repair is possible. At least let’s point fingers at the elites and laugh. Can science trust Science?
