Dear CCP4 followers, Maybe you are already aware of this interesting study in PNAS regarding the prevalence of fraud vs. 'real' error in paper retractions:
Fang FC, Steen RG and Casadevall A (2012) Misconduct accounts for the majority of retracted scientific publications. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 109(42): 17028-33. http://www.pnas.org/content/109/42/17028.abstract There were also a few comments on related stuff such as fake peer review in the Chronicle of Higher Education. As not all may have access to that journal, I have put the 3 relevant pdf links on my web http://www.ruppweb.org/CHE_Misconduct_PNAS_Stuft_Oct_2012.pdf http://www.ruppweb.org/CHE_DYI_reviews_Sept_30_2012.pdf http://www.ruppweb.org/CHE_The-Great-Pretender_Oct_8_2012.pdf Best regards, BR ----------------------------------------------------------------- Bernhard Rupp 001 (925) 209-7429 +43 (676) 571-0536 b...@ruppweb.org hofkristall...@gmail.com http://www.ruppweb.org/ -----------------------------------------------------------------
