By Leonid Schneider, on research integrity, biomedical ethics and academic publishing
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.
Schneider Shorts 25.11.2022 – how money trumps basic medical ethics for elite London universities, a Belgian failed scientist doing business in Korea, retractions overdue, forgiven or unavoided, plus horse racing, an Israeli image integrity software doing what it should, and a cool research integrity workshop in Liverpool.
Schneider Shorts 4.11.2022 – with a russian spy in Norway, an antisemite in Marseille, an antivax editor retired, various grumpy, disappointed and contrarian scientists, conflicts of interests which count and which don’t, a collection of whole, partial and withdrawn retractions, and a papermill sleuth celebrating himself.
“Having reviewed the Conflict of Interest disclosures made by Professor Frost, Professor Holmes and Dr Garcia-Perez, and having also reviewed additional information concerning their company, Melico, […] the College is satisfied that they have no undisclosed or unmanageable conflicts of interests” – Arts Bachelor (Honours)
