By Leonid Schneider, on research integrity, biomedical ethics and academic publishing
Schneider Shorts 1.12.2023 – MDPI apprehends a thief, Sicilian fraudster’s trouble with women, a papermill fraudster appointed as EiC, a Dutch research fraudster ushers fascism in, retractions for some and concerns for others, and finally, a science terrorist undermining Belfast!
“…the best evidence for the existence of VSELs is the dismal failure of all the other much-vaunted stem-cell therapies to deliver on their promises. Since it is axiomatic that some stem-cell therapy must work, the successful cell-types must be the ones that haven’t been tried yet, which leaves VSELs.”- Smut Clyde
Schneider Shorts 26.05.2023 – a dyslexic graphing software in Israel, a Marseille court decides wisely, ingenious cures for autism and Parkinson’s, with Nobelist’s new retraction, stem cell fraudsters’ retraction, botched-up retraction notice, more retractions, and finally, how a German professor-maker investigated his papers.
Schneider Shorts 7.04.2023 – Spanish King of Papermillers sacked, a bully ecologist in Yale, how to give healthy people cancer, with a stem cell cure approved in Germany, publishers’ different approaches to research integrity, and what to do about another journal blacklist.
Schneider Shorts of 25.03.2022 – University of Louisville canonizes a fraudster, a Peruvian sexual harasser puts critic on trial, a sacked CEO with a new biotech startup, French COVID quacks being creative, some interesting corrections, and why China’s science is the best in the world.
