[ccp4bb] A little perspective (Re: Trends in Data Fabrication)

[Dima Klenchin]

Just came across it and thought it's quite relevant with regard to the 
latest furor over fraud in crystallography:

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v483/n7391/pdf/483531a.pdf
"53 papers were deemed 'landmark' studies ... scientific findings were 
confirmed in only 6 (11%) cases".

Mean number of citations:
non-reproduced articles* 169 (range 6–1,909)
    reproduced articles*  13 (range 3–24)

And yet, cell biology is steadily marching on with quite remarkable 
progress each year...
